Steamed Milk Egg Pudding with Strawberry

Contributed by: Janet Chew

My late mum, Mdm Koong Ah Lang, has a long-term diabetes and was recently diagnosed as a liver cancer patient. She loves sweet treats despite her health conditions. She loves to eat the Hong Kong dessert: Hong Kong Steam Milk Egg Pudding with strawberry (双皮奶). As this dessert is very sweet, I decided to come out with a recipe on my own so that she can enjoy it in a healthier way.
