Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk and eggs at any local supermarket in Freetown or regional grocery stores. If you cannot find a ring mold, a standard round cake tin works as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, condensed milk, and milk; blend for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Prepare the caramel directly in a ring mold. Add the sugar to the pan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until it melts and turns into a golden amber caramel.
- Carefully coat the bottom and inner sides of the mold with the prepared caramel.
- Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-lined mold.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, though letting it set overnight is ideal for the best texture.
- To unmold, gently run a knife around the edges and invert the mold onto a serving platter.
