A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Traditional Pudding
When it comes to desserts, few are as beloved as a traditional pudding. Its creamy texture and caramel flavor create a delightful treat that is sure to please any palate. In this article, we will guide you through a simple and foolproof recipe for making traditional pudding at home.
Ingredients You'll Need
Before we begin, let’s gather the essential ingredients:
For the Pudding:
3 eggs
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1.5 cups of milk (using the same can from the sweetened condensed milk)
The first step in our traditional pudding recipe is to prepare the caramel sauce. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect caramel consistency:
Begin by adding 1 cup of sugar to a saucepan.
Adjust the heat to medium and stir occasionally. You'll want the sugar to melt completely into a golden amber color. It's natural for some sugar to stay solid at first, but that will dissolve later.
Once the sugar has melted, carefully pour in ½ cup of hot water. Be cautious of the steam that rises at this point.
Stir the mixture until the sugar fully dissolves again. Once it reaches a smooth, caramel-like consistency, remove it from the heat.
This easy traditional pudding recipe is one that anyone can master, bringing the sweet taste of homemade dessert right to your table.

Preparing the Pudding Mixture
While the caramel is cooling, it’s time to prepare your pudding mixture. Here’s what you need to do:
In a blender, combine 3 eggs, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1.5 cups of milk. Blend until the mixture is well combined.
Ensure the caramel has cooled sufficiently, becoming slightly thickened. Then pour the pudding mixture directly onto the caramel in the mold.
Cover the mold with aluminum foil, ensuring the shiny side is facing inward to help keep moisture from the water bath out.
Baking the Pudding
Now that your pudding is prepared, you are ready to bake:
Part 4/5:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the pudding mold in a larger baking dish to create a water bath (bain-marie).
Before putting it in the oven, add hot water to the outer baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of your pudding mold.
Bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. The pudding is done when it has set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
Cooling and Serving
Once the baking time is complete, it’s important to cool your pudding properly for the best texture:
Remove the pudding from the oven and the water bath. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the mold, then invert it onto a plate for serving.
