Easy Dimer Pudding | Bangladeshi Style Caramel Pudding
Ingredients
For Caramel
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp water
For Pudding
- 5 eggs
- 2 cup whole milk (substitute 1/2 cup milk with evaporated milk for a creamier richer pudding)
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat your sugar and water for the caramel in a small metal pot on medium high. Stir once at the beginning to mix then don't stir anymore once it comes up to a boil,
- Swirl the pan around to mix gently, boiling until it turns into a nice amber color. Take it off the heat, and immediately pour onto your baking dish (I used a 7inch pyrex glass dish). Swirling it around to cover the bottom of the dish before it cools. It will darken a little from the residual heat.
- In a mixing bowl. Whisk your eggs together lightly, making sure to not form too many bubbles. Then add in your sugar and condensed milk, fold into the eggs gently, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Whisk everything together just enough to incorporate all the ingredients, making sure to not over whisk or make it frothy.
- Strain the egg mixture onto the caramel. Cover the dish with foil/clingfilm
- Place pudding dish into a larger pot with an inch of water and a wire rack on the bottom of the pot.
- Bring the water up to a simmer, turn your heat down to low (or 1-2 setting - the water should be simmering very gently the whole time) Put a lid on, and let steam for about 40-45 minutes until the center of the pudding is set. Do not take off the lid until it is time to check as the steam will escape and it will take longer to cook. If it’s not set, check in 10 minute intervals until it sets.
- Once the dish cools down, cover and chill in the fridge for atleast 2 hours to let it set and the caramel dissolve. Then use a knife to release the edges of the pudding from the sides of the pot.
- Place your serving plate on top of the pudding dish, and invert it to drop the pudding onto the plate. Slap/shake the top if needed to make it drop. Serve cold, and enjoy!
