A specialty of Guangzhou, Shuangpi Nai or Double-layered milk pudding is enjoyed by young and old as a light snack or refreshing pick me up. The dish is actually simmered milk with a solid covering made from a mixture of egg white and milk, hence the name double-layered milk pudding.

When prepared, the dish appears to be pure white in colour and semi-solid in texture with a soft and sweet taste. Invented at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this dairy product is quite nutritional and low in fat. A spoonful of this creamy pudding leaves a lingering, pleasant taste in the mouth.

Recipe:

Boil fresh milk placed in a pan until a milk skin is formed on the surface. After the milk cools, separate the milk from the skin and place it into another bowl. Braise the milk skin with sugar and protein until another layer of milk skin forms. Pour the braised milk skin into a bowl over the separated milk to get "double-layered milk pudding".
