Where to find ingredients
You can source these staples at any local Namibian supermarket in the baking or dairy aisles. Ensure you use full-fat milk for the best texture. If you have trouble finding standard ring-shaped pudding molds, a round cake tin can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for at least 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and milk; pulse for about 3 minutes until the mixture is perfectly smooth and well-incorporated.
- Prepare the caramel directly in a ring-shaped pudding mold: add the sugar and heat over low flame, stirring occasionally until it turns into a smooth, amber-colored syrup.
- Carefully swirl the mold to coat the bottom and inner sides thoroughly with the caramel syrup.
- Pour the blended mixture slowly into the prepared, caramel-coated mold.
- Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for roughly 40 minutes, or until the surface is golden and the pudding feels firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 4 hours—though leaving it overnight is recommended—to ensure the perfect set.
- To unmold, gently run a knife around the edges and invert the mold onto a serving platter.
