Preparing a caramel pudding requires few ingredients and a few simple steps, but it’s always better to give a few more tips to make sure you get a perfect result.
Here are some tips to make this dessert even more delicious!
First of all, it is important to choose quality ingredients: prefer fresh eggs, whole milk and good quality sugar.
Also, it’s best to use a thick-bottomed pan to prevent the pudding from sticking to the bottom and burning.
Start by making the caramel: in a saucepan, put 150g sugar and 50ml water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Continue to cook over medium heat, without stirring, until the caramel is golden brown.
Once the caramel has been prepared, pour it immediately, distributing it evenly on the bottom of the molds or single-portion bowls: the caramel will solidify quickly, forming a crunchy and tasty layer on the surface of the pudding.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the cornstarch and vanillin until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture. When preparing the egg and cornstarch mixture, it is important to mix well to avoid the formation of lumps. Also, you can add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the pudding.
In the thick-bottomed saucepan, pour the milk and sugar. Add the egg mixture to the pan with the milk, stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
During cooking, mix the milk, sugar and egg mixture with a whisk to avoid the formation of lumps and to ensure a smooth and homogeneous result.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the pudding thickens: turn off the heat when the first bubbles form, you must not boil the pudding to prevent it from going crazy.
Pour the pudding into the molds or bowls where you previously poured the caramel and let it cool completely.
Vanilla Pudding with Caramel Sauce is ready to enjoy. but if you want to serve the caramel pudding in an even more delicious way, you can decorate it with whipped cream, tufts of caramel or chocolate flakes.
Caramel pudding is a simple but very tasty dessert, perfect to round off a meal or to pamper yourself with a delicious dessert.
