Welcome to A Malayali Home, where we're about to embark on a journey to create the perfect Caramel Custard Pudding. This classic dessert is a harmony of silky custard and rich caramel, and we're here to guide you through each step.
*Ingredients:*
Caramel:
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
Custard:
- 3 Eggs
- 500 ml Milk
- 12 tbsp Sugar
*Instructions:*
1. *Prepare the Caramel:*
In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of sugar over medium heat until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Add 1 tablespoon of water to create a smooth caramel sauce. Pour this into your pudding mold, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
2. *Create the Custard Mixture:*
In a mixing bowl, whisk 3 eggs thoroughly. Add 500 ml of milk and gradually incorporate 12 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a smooth custard mixture.
3. *Double Boil the Custard:*
Pour the custard mixture into the caramel-coated mold. Double boil the mixture by placing the mold in a water bath over medium heat. Allow it to cook for 20-25 minutes until the custard sets.
4. *Cool and Refrigerate:*
Once cooked, let the custard cool down. Once at room temperature, transfer it to the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 5-6 hours, or better yet, overnight. This enhances the flavors and sets the custard perfectly.
5. *Demould and Serve:*
Carefully demould the chilled custard by running a knife along the edges. Place a serving plate over the mold and invert it. The beautiful caramel layer will now be on top. Admire your creation before slicing and serving this divine Caramel Custard Pudding.
Indulge in the creamy goodness and the irresistible sweetness of this homemade dessert. Your taste buds are in for a treat, and your guests will be asking for seconds! Enjoy the magic of a classic Caramel Custard Pudding made right in your kitchen.
