Ingredients:

For the Caramel :

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons water

For the Pudding :

– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions :

Step 1: Prepare the Caramel

1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
3. Once the sugar dissolves, stop stirring and let the mixture simmer until it turns a golden-brown color. Be careful not to burn the caramel.
4. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a heatproof pudding mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 2: Make the Pudding Mixture

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
3. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling.
4. Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Pour the pudding mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold or ramekins.
2. Place the mold or ramekins in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the pudding containers, creating a water bath.
3. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
3. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the mold or ramekins to loosen the pudding. Invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to flow over the top.

 Tips for Perfect Caramel Egg Pudding:

–  Avoid Burning the Caramel : Keep a close eye on the caramel as it cooks. It can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly.
– Smooth Texture : To ensure a smooth pudding, make sure the milk is warm but not boiling when you add it to the eggs.
– Water Bath : The water bath helps the pudding cook evenly and prevents it from cracking.
