Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Water
- 395 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 400 milliliters Whole milk
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
To make the caramel, combine the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved.
Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to simmer without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns a deep amber color (about 8–10 minutes).
Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool while preparing the pudding.
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Carefully pour the blended mixture into the cake pan over the cooled caramel.
Place the cake pan into a large, deep roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan to create a bain-marie (water bath).
Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding to loosen it. Place a serving plate with a rim over the pan and quickly invert it to release the pudding and caramel onto the plate.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Brazilian-style milk pudding!
