Ingredients

For the Pudding:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation & Steps to Make Caramel Pudding Recipe
Step 1: Make the Caramel
- In a saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown color.
- Pour the caramel into your pudding cups or a baking dish and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Pudding Mixture
- In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and sugar until just warm (do not boil).
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.
Step 3: Combine and Cook
- Pour the egg mixture into the caramel-lined cups or baking dish.
- Carefully place the cups in a baking dish filled with hot water (bain-marie method) and bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 45 minutes or until set.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Let the caramel pudding cool to room temperature before refrigerating for 2-3 hours.
- Once set, invert the pudding onto a plate and serve chilled.
Pro Tips
- To prevent the caramel from burning, ensure you stir the sugar constantly while heating it.
- You can use a steam cooker to steam the pudding instead of baking for a softer texture.
