Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, combine 70g of granulated sugar and 15ml of water.
-
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook without stirring until the sugar turns golden brown. This should take a few minutes, so be patient and avoid stirring.
-
If you really must stir, gently swirl the pot instead of using any utensils.
-
Once the sugar has reached a golden brown color, remove the saucepan from the heat.
-
Carefully add 30ml of hot water to the caramelized sugar, stirring gently. Be cautious as the mixture might bubble up.
-
Divide the caramel evenly into four oven-safe cups, pouring it immediately so that it flows easily.
-
Gently swirl the cups to ensure the caramel coats the bottom evenly. Set them aside while you prepare the pudding mixture.
-
In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs until well combined.
-
Add 4g of vanilla extract and 60g of granulated sugar to the beaten eggs. Mix until the sugar dissolves.
-
Gradually add 360ml of whole milk to the egg mixture, warming it slightly if necessary. You can heat the milk on the stove until it begins to boil.
-
Once the mixture is well mixed, strain it through a mesh strainer to remove any unwanted clumps.
-
Pour the pudding mixture into the four cups, filling them evenly.
-
Place the cups in a deep baking dish, as we will be using the bain-marie method.
-
Pour boiling water into the baking dish, filling it about halfway. This will ensure a smooth and consistent texture for the custard.
-
Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius (300 Fahrenheit).
-
Carefully transfer the baking dish with the cups into the oven and bake for around 45 minutes or until the custard is cooked without being liquid.
-
Once cooked, remove the cups from the water bath and let them cool slightly.
-
Refrigerate the cups for at least two hours to chill and set the custard.
-
You can enjoy the caramel pudding directly from the cups once they have completely cooled, or if you prefer, you can invert them onto serving plates for a delightful presentation.
-
The longer you leave them in the refrigerator, the easier it will be to remove them.
-
A simple recipe for a delicious caramel pudding. I hope you enjoy making and savoring this delightful dessert.
