Instructions

  1. 1. In a microwavable container, combine 300 ml of whole milk, 50 g of white sugar, and 7 g of gelatin powder. Mix well and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
  2. 2. In a small saucepan, combine 50 g of white sugar and 60 ml of water. Heat over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Pour the caramel into serving cups.
  3. 3. Whisk 3 pasteurized eggs in another bowl. Heat the bloomed milk mixture in the microwave until warm (not boiling), then slowly pour it into the eggs while whisking continuously.
  4. 4. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove lumps. Mix in 100 ml of heavy cream and ½ tsp of vanilla essence until combined.
  5. 5. Pour the custard mixture into the cups over the caramel. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  6. 6. Run a knife around the edges of each cup and invert onto a plate to release the pudding. Serve as is or garnish with fresh fruit or extra caramel.
