Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Custard

• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk see notes
• 1/2 cup sugar

Caramel sauce

• 6 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

 

Caramel sauce

• In a sauce pan, add water and sugar for the caramel sauce. Mix well so the sugar dissolves.
• Turn the heat on medium and heat up the mixture occasionally stirring. Once the sauce starts bubbling, turn off the heat after 15 seconds.
• Immediately pour the sauce into heat safe bowls or ramekins.
• Set aside for it to cool.

Pudding

• Break the eggs in a bowl and beat it lightly.
• Add sugar and whisk lightly until sugar dissolves.
• Heat up the evaporated milk in the microwave for 30 secs and gradually pour it into the bowl while whisking.
• Keep whisking until everything is mixed well but careful not to make the mixture foamy.
• Using a sieve, sieve the egg mixture into the different heat safe bowls/ramekins and cover with foil.
• Heat up your pot/steamer and once the water boils, add the caramel pudding bowls and cover the pot with a lid. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
• Once the time is up, turn off the heat and let it stand for another 5 minutes. The custard should be firm to touch. Let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour.
• To serve, run a blade around the sides and take a serving plate to cover the bowls/ramekins. Flip it over. Tap the bowl a few times and remove it slowly. Enjoy!

Notes

*The evaporated milk should be warm and not hot so it won’t cook the eggs.

*I used brown sugar, white sugar will work too. 

*Don’t cook the sauce for too long or the sugar will burn.
