Chef's tip

🧂Add a pinch of salt to your caramel to bring out the richness of the flavors! ✨

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture turns grainy when thawed.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3-4 days max in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Excellent made the day before for the best texture and flavor.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Variations

Bake the pudding in a loaf pan for a different presentation.
Leave out the crumbled caramel cookies if you prefer a smoother pudding.
Flavor the milk with a vanilla bean instead of the extract.

Mistakes to avoid

Letting the caramel get too dark: take it off the heat as soon as it is golden, before it turns bitter.
Pouring boiling milk over the eggs: heat the milk only until it is lukewarm.
Unmolding too early: let it cool 2 hours in the refrigerator before unmolding.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get the pudding caramel right?

Melt 200 g of sugar with 2 tablespoons of water in a saucepan until you have a golden caramel, then pour it immediately into the mold of your choice, before it hardens.

How do you bake a pudding in a water bath?

Pour the mixture into the caramel-coated mold, add the crumbled caramel cookies if you like, then set the mold in a dish of hot water. Bake in the oven at 180 °C for 30 minutes.

How long should the pudding cool?

Let the pudding cool 2 hours in the refrigerator before unmolding. This lets the custard firm up and the caramel coat the dessert when it comes out of the mold.

What ingredients go into a caramel pudding?

You need sugar and water for the caramel, 400 ml of milk, 3 eggs, vanilla extract, and, if desired, 100 g of crumbled caramel cookies on top of the mixture before baking.
