Kazandibi

[Asen1940]

Kazandibi is a unique dessert with a textural contrast: a creamy milk pudding base with a caramelized sugar crust on top. Traditionally cooked in a clay pot, it offers a warm and comforting treat with a hint of burnt sugar flavor.

Ingredients:

• For the Kazandibi:
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Procedure:

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and a little bit of cold milk to make a slurry. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the milk mixture in the saucepan.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble. Continue whisking for another minute to ensure no lumps form.
4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the pudding thickens further and coats the back of a spoon.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Pour the hot pudding mixture into a shallow, heatproof dish (traditionally a clay pot) that can be used on the stovetop.
8. Increase the heat to medium and carefully tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly with the pudding. Let the pudding cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom starts to caramelize and turn golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
9. Once caramelized, remove the pan from the heat. The top will be solid and caramelized, while the bottom will remain creamy.
10. Let the Kazandibi cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
11. To serve, cut the Kazandibi into squares and scoop out a portion, ensuring you get both the creamy pudding and the caramelized top. Enjoy!

This recipe is a delightful way to experience a unique Turkish dessert. The combination of creamy pudding and caramelized sugar is sure to tantalize your taste buds!
