Ingredients:

• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 can of cream
• 1 glass of coconut milk (200 ml)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 4 eggs

For the Syrup:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Method of Preparation:

For the Syrup:

1. Caramelize the sugar: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and allow it to melt and caramelize, stirring occasionally until it reaches a golden brown color.
2. Add water carefully: Once caramelized, slowly add the water, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a smooth, glossy syrup.
3. Prepare the mold: Pour the syrup into a pudding mold (approximately 22 cm in diameter), making sure to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Set aside to cool.

For the Pudding:

1. Blend the ingredients: In a blender, combine the condensed milk, cream, coconut milk, whole milk, and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2. Fill the mold: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared, caramelized mold.
3. Bake in a bain-marie: Cover the mold with aluminum foil. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F), and place the mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the pudding is firm and set.
4. Cool and chill: Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding.

Expert Tips for the Perfect Pudding:

• Use room temperature eggs: This helps avoid the pudding developing a strong eggy odor.
• Blend thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated for a silky, lump-free texture.
• Hot water bath: When baking in a bain-marie, make sure the water is hot when placing it in the oven. This ensures even cooking.

Once chilled, your 4 Creamy Milk Pudding is ready to be served! The creamy texture and luscious flavors are sure to impress family and guests alike.

Enjoy!
