Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at any local supermarket or neighborhood grocery store. Look for sweetened condensed milk in the baking aisle. If you prefer a richer flavor, you may substitute a portion of the whole milk with heavy cream, though the classic recipe relies on the ratio of the condensed milk tin.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
- Combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk in a blender; pulse for about 3 minutes until the batter is perfectly smooth.
- Prepare the syrup directly in a ring mold. Add the sugar and place over low heat, stirring occasionally until it melts into a deep golden caramel.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the mold with the warm caramel syrup.
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared, caramel-coated mold.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding feels firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the fridge.
- Chill for at least 4 hours—or ideally overnight—to ensure it sets perfectly.
- To serve, gently run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the mold onto a serving platter.
