Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 milliliters Water
• 395 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 400 milliliters Whole milk
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

To make the caramel, combine the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to simmer without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns a deep amber color (about 8–10 minutes).

Step 4

Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool while preparing the pudding.

Step 5

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Carefully pour the blended mixture into the cake pan over the cooled caramel.

Step 7

Place the cake pan into a large, deep roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan to create a bain-marie (water bath).

Step 8

Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 10

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding to loosen it. Place a serving plate with a rim over the pan and quickly invert it to release the pudding and caramel onto the plate.

Step 11

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Brazilian-style milk pudding!
