Mom's Creamy Custard Pudding
- 110 grams Eggs
- 500 ml A. Milk (or substitute 1/3 with heavy cream)
- 60 grams A. Granulated sugar...
- 1/2 bean, 2/3 teaspoon of paste A. Vanilla bean or Vanilla bean paste
- 1 Caramel Sauce
- Use room temperature eggs.
- Stir ingredients A under low heat.
- Mix well until the granulated sugar melts completely.
- Once the liquid is warm to the touch (approx.
- 40-50C) remove from heat.
- Cool the liquid from Step 2 until it reaches a temperature of around 30C.
- If the liquid is too warm the eggs will cook.
- If it is too cold it is not good either.
- Always make sure the temperature is around 30C.
- Mix the eggs well without whipping them.
- Tilt the bowl and cut into the egg whites with a linear hand movement.
- Pour liquid from Step 3 gradually into the eggs from Step 4 as you continue to whisk.
- Once they are combined, mix well.
- Strain the combined liquid from Step 5 through a fine mesh sieve or a tea strainer at least once.
- There will be small lumps from the egg whites.
- Make sure to strain these as it will make a difference in the smoothness of the pudding.
- I use a tea strainer to strain the liquid from Step 6 into a measuring cup first.
- Then I am ready to transfer this into a heatproof pudding mold.
- The small ramekin pictured here has a (6 cm diameter x 5.8 cm height) 55 ml capacity.
- I strain the liquid from Step 7 into the ramekin using a tea strainer.
- Place an aluminum lid over the ramekins.
- If your ramekins come with lids, use them instead of the foil.
- Pour hot water in the baking pan and place the ramekins and steam bake in a 160C preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Then lower the temperature down to 140C and continue for another 27 minutes.
- Baking times will differ according to the ramekin size and individual ovens.
- For the mini ramekin pictured in Step 9, I them bake at 160C for 15 minutes then 130C for 15 minutes.
- I explained how to steam bake these using an oven but if you wish to use a pot over a stovetop, refer to.
- If the skin forms on the top and the center of the pudding jiggles when gently shaken, it is done.
- This is how a freshly made pudding will look.
- It is barely solid.
- Our electric oven is rather weak in power.
- Try steam baking at 140C for 15 minutes first and then check for doneness.
- If it looks like Step 15-16, it should be fine.
- If you need to continue steam baking add more hot water onto the baking pan and monitor every 5 minutes.
- Use hot water when you steam bake initially.
- Over cooking will ruin the texture of the pudding.
- Freshly baked pudding may be loose but when cooled it will solidify.
- Cool the pudding down to room temperature then wrap firmly and cool in the refrigerator.
- While waiting for the pudding to cool down, make the caramel sauce following steps fromand cool it in the refrigerator.
- Cool the pudding in the refrigerator for 8 hours or more and you are done Top the pudding with caramel sauce and any other toppings of your choice.
- The caramel sauce coated smooth creamy custard pudding tastes just like the pudding my mom used to make.
- The surface is very smooth.
- A little further into the pudding and it is creamier and jiggly.
- Even if you dig deeper with your spoon, it stays smooth and soft!
- It melts in your mouth.
- It is a light delicious pudding made from whole eggs and milk.
- Try this "Melting custard pudding" made from simple ingredients.
- I highly recommendGolden caramel sauce.
- This is a traditional patisserie style melting puddingfor maple pudding.
- This is a creamy mocha pudding that can be made easily with gelatin
- This is the vanilla bean paste I always use when making desserts.
