SLC-S25/W1 | Caramel Pudding

Some desserts fill the stomach… and there are desserts that soothe the soul.

Today, I joined the Steemit Dessert Challenge for Season 25, Week 1, and I decided to make something that reminds me of warmth, simplicity, and celebration, Caramel Pudding.

This was more than just a kitchen task. It felt like a quiet moment of self-care, a little victory over the chaos of the week. I can’t wait to show you how it went from raw ingredients to a golden, jiggly dream on a plate.

🥣 Step-by-Step Preparation Process:

Step 1:
In a clean pot, I placed 40g of sugar over low heat to caramelise. Slowly, it transformed into a rich golden syrup. Once ready, I poured the caramel into the pudding mould to set the base.

Step 2:
In a separate bowl, I cracked three eggs and beat them until smooth. I added the remaining 20g of sugar and continued whisking. Gradually, I poured in the milk while beating the mixture till it was completely smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3:
I poured the egg-milk mixture over the set caramel in the mould. Then I covered it and placed it in a steamer to cook for about 20 minutes.

Step 4:

After steaming, I allowed the pudding to cool. The most satisfying part was turning the mould over and watching the golden caramel cascade gently over the silky pudding.

💬 Who Enjoyed This Pudding?

I gave the first taste to my daughter, who closed her eyes and gave a dramatic “Mmmmm!” It made me laugh. I had a spoonful too, it was so soft, almost like a cloud, with the caramel giving it a buttery, rich sweetness. There’s something comforting about its simplicity. My husband, who isn’t big on sweets, asked for a second bite. That’s when I knew, it passed the test!
