Where to find ingredients
Find sweetened condensed milk and instant coffee at local supermarkets in Port Vila. For the baking mold, look for dedicated pudding or ring-shaped flan pans at homeware shops or hardware stores. If coffee liqueur is unavailable, dark rum is a great locally accessible alternative to add depth.
Preparation method
- Prepare the caramel by melting sugar directly in a pudim mold or ring pan over low heat, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated.
- Place the eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, instant coffee, and the optional liqueur or rum into a blender.
- Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a perfectly smooth and uniform mixture.
- Pour the custard base carefully into the prepared caramel-coated mold.
- Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil to ensure even steaming.
- Place in a bain-marie and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 1 hour, or until the pudim is set and firm.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
- Once thoroughly chilled, carefully unmold the pudim onto a serving plate.
- Serve well-chilled for the best texture.
