Melt-in-Your-Mouth Custard Pudding
- 190 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Boiling water
- 400 ml Double cream
- 400 ml Milk
- 6 Egg yolks (large)
- 95 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 dash Vanilla essence
- Put the granulated sugar in a small saucepan and dissolve over medium heat.
- After completely dissolving, it will start to brown and bubble.
- When it bubbles a lot, remove from heat.
- Place the pan in a bowl filled with cold water for 2 seconds and remove the pan from the water immediately.
- Add 60 ml of water little by little and stir well with a wooden spatula.
- While doing this the caramel boils fiercely and releases a lot of steam so be careful.
- After adding all the water the caramel settles like this.
- While it is hot pour the caramel into the glass jars and chill them in the fridge to set.
- If you pour the custard pudding mixture before the caramel sets, the pudding will get mixed with the sauce.
- So set the caramel first.
- Put the double cream and milk in a sauce pan and heat to 50C.
- Do not overheat.
- Turn off the heat when the temperature has reached 50C.
- Put the egg yolks and granulated sugar into a bowl and beat with a hand whisk.
- Add the Step 6 mixture into the Step 7 eggs little by little and continue to stir constantly.
- At first add a little mixture at a time because the egg yolks make lumps.
- After combined, add a few drops of vanilla essence.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve.
- After straining, remove the little bubbles on the surface with paper towels.
- This will allow the finished pudding to have a smoother texture.
- Remove the chilled jars from the fridge.
- Pour the custard pudding mixture gently into each jar without making bubbles.
- Boil water in a pan large enough to accommodate all jars.
- This pan needs a lid too.
- Fill the pan with water up to 1/2 to 1/3 full.
- To avoid the hot water from splashing into the inside of the jars cover the jars with aluminum foil.
- After bringing it to a boil, turn off the heat.
- Arrange the jars in the pan and cover with a lid.
- Steam for 13 to 17 minutes over a low heat.
- After steaming, take one out and uncover it.
- Shake the jar and if the pudding surface looks runny you need steam it longer.
- If the surface looks thick and moves gently it is done.
- Uncover to cool.
- After cooling, chill in the fridge for 4 hours.
- This is very soft custard pudding so be careful if you have to them carry around.
- They are so fragile.
