Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather these simple ingredients to create your own Creme Caramel Pudding:
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of sugar (for caramel)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions to Create this Delight
Follow these easy steps to whip up your own Creme Caramel Pudding:
- Start by making the caramel. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of sugar until it turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn it! Once melted, quickly pour the caramel into your ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it’s warm, but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Gradually pour in the warm milk and cream mixture, whisking continuously to avoid cooking the eggs.
- Pour this mixture over the hardened caramel in the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This creates a gentle steam for baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes, until the pudding is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Once done, carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- To serve, invert each ramekin onto a plate so the caramel sauce can cascade over the top.
There you have it! Your own homemade Creme Caramel Pudding, ready to impress and delight. This dessert is not only simple to make, but it also creates a beautiful presentation that will have everyone talking. Enjoy every spoonful of this creamy, dreamy classic!
