❓ Buburrea Dessert Q&A
1. Can I use agar-agar instead of gelatin?
Yes! Agar-agar works, but the texture will be firmer and less creamy. Use about half the weight of gelatin.
2. How long can I store Buburrea in the fridge?
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Always keep chilled for the best texture.
3. Can I make a sugar version instead of using zero-calorie sweetener?
Absolutely. Just replace the sweetener with an equal weight of sugar for a richer flavor.
4. Why is my Buburrea grainy instead of smooth?
This usually happens if the gelatin isn’t fully dissolved or the yogurt is added when the mixture is too hot. Let it cool slightly before mixing.
5. Can I make multiple flavors at once?
Yes! Just prepare the base milk–yolk mixture, then split it and add your chosen flavor (matcha, tea, coffee, or chocolate) before adding yogurt and chilling.
