Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 500 ml milk
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 60 grams sugar for caramel
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your steamer or large pot with water to create steam for cooking.
  • In a saucepan, mix 60 grams of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat to make caramel.
  • Pour the caramel into the bottom of the baking dish and let it set.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 100 grams of sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the set caramel in the baking dish.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil to prevent water from entering during steaming.
  • Place the covered dish in the steamer or large pot and steam for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the dish from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours to set properly.
  • To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding and invert onto a plate.

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can strain the egg mixture before pouring it over the caramel. Be patient when making the caramel; avoid stirring it to prevent crystallization, and watch closely to avoid burning. Adjust the sugar level to taste, especially if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
