Ingredients

For the Caramel:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons water

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.
