Payasam is a must-have for all auspicious Indian occasions and is a classic dessert. Although it is known in various names and is prepared using varied recipes, the main ingredient for Payasam is milk, usually thickened with rice or vermicelli, with ghee added for fragrance and sugar to bring it all together. Interestingly, Payasam in Sanskrit means milk.

For an exciting twist to a traditional favourite, Fernleaf engaged Chef Annette Isaac, who is part Indian and part Eurasian heritage, to create three wonderful ways to enjoy Payasam – the classic Fernleaf Payasam, Fernleaf Payasam Pudding and Fernleaf Payasam Ice Cream. The delicious desserts were given an unexpected Malaysian twist with the addition of Gula Melaka, a type of local palm sugar for added depth in flavour.

Mr Martin Soong, Marketing Manager of Fernleaf at Fonterra Brands Malaysia explained that Fernleaf would like to celebrate Deepavali with its consumers by sharing the delightful recipe ideas. According to him using Fernleaf Full Cream Milk and Gula Melaka to this recipe for Payasam gives it a richer depth and flavour compared to the classic recipe, and enjoying it in different ways such as in a jelly pudding and an ice cream adds more fun to the festivities.

For those who enjoy traditional desserts but are mindful of what they eat, we’ve created ideas that are not only a fun twist to the ordinary, but also healthier with the added nutrition of pure and natural dairy from New Zealand,” said Mr Soong.
