Caramel Pudding

[Serene]

have something sweet!

Ingredients​

• For the Caramel:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
• For the Pudding:
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions​

1. Make the Caramel:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
   • Stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil until it turns a golden amber color. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
   • Once ready, quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a round baking dish or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
2. Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
   • In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until just warm (do not boil).
   • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
   • Gradually add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
3. Combine and Bake:
   • Pour the pudding mixture over the set caramel in the baking dish or ramekins.
   • Place the baking dish or ramekins in a larger baking pan filled with hot water (a water bath) to help cook the pudding evenly.
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
   • To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding, then invert onto a plate. The caramel will flow over the top.
