Instructions

Prepare the caramel: In a pudding mold (with a hole in the middle, approximately 20-22 cm diameter), place the sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until a golden caramel is obtained. Be careful not to bur
Add the water: Very carefully, add the hot water to the caramel. It will bubble and harden a little, but continue stirring over low heat until the caramel dissolves again and forms a smooth syrup. Spread the syrup over the entire mold, covering the bottom and sides. Set aside
Prepare the pudding batter: In a blender, add the condensed milk, whole milk, and eggs. Blend for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is homogeneous. It is crucial to blend well for a lump-free Traditional Condensed Milk Pudding
Pour into the mold: Carefully pour the blender mixture over the caramelized syrup in the mold
Cook in a bain-marie: Cover the mold with aluminum foil. Place the pudding mold inside a larger baking pan with hot water (the bain-marie should cover at least half the height of the pudding mold). Place in a preheated oven at 180°C
Cooking time: Bake for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. The time may vary depending on the ove
Cool and unmold: Remove from the oven and bain-marie. Let cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally, overnight. To unmold, run a blunt knife around the edges and center of the pudding. Place a serving plate over the form and invert it quickly. The Traditional Condensed Milk Pudding syrup will flow beautifully

Notes

Use low heat for the caramel to prevent burning and bitterness.

The bain-marie ensures gentle, even cooking, preventing overbaking and excessive holes. Use hot water for the bain-marie to speed up the process.

Do not attempt to unmold the pudding before it is thoroughly chilled to prevent it from breaking.

For a pudding without bubbles, blend the mixture and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before pouring into the mold. This helps bubbles dissipate.

A slightly warmed knife can facilitate unmolding your classic pudding.
