Ingredients
- 50 g white sugar
- 60 ml water
- 300 ml whole milk
- 50 g white sugar
- 7 g gelatin powder
- 3 pasteurized eggs
- 100 ml heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla essence (or half the amount of vanilla extract)
Instructions
- Pour 300 ml of whole milk into a microwavable container. Stir in 50 g of white sugar and 7 g of gelatin powder. Mix it well and let the gelatin bloom for 5-10 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine 50 g of sugar and 60 ml of water. Heat over low-medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns golden brown to make caramel.
- Pour the caramel into serving cups, tilting each cup to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the eggs, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla essence, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the cups.
- Cover the cups and steam them over a pot of simmering water for about 15-20 minutes, or until the custard is set.
- Allow the custard to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least a couple of hours before serving.
Notes
For best results, chill the pudding overnight. Serve it garnished with fresh fruits or a sprinkle of matcha powder.
