Tips for Success
• When preparing the liquid caramel, ensure that the sugar is melted completely and turns a rich amber color before pouring it into the Pyrex dish. This will enhance the flavor and give your pudding a beautiful presentation.
• Be sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly before incorporating them into the milk and condensed milk mixture. This will prevent any egg clumps in your pudding and create a smoother texture.
• Avoid overcooking the pudding by using a water bath during baking. Place your Pyrex dish in a larger baking dish filled with hot water, which will help regulate the temperature and cook the pudding evenly without curdling the eggs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the condensed milk with another ingredient?
Yes, you can substitute condensed milk with an equal amount of evaporated milk combined with sugar (approx. 1/3 cup of sugar added to 1 and 1/2 cups of evaporated milk) for a lighter version. However, this will change the sweetness and creaminess of the pudding.
How should I store the milk pudding after making it?
Once the milk pudding is completely cooled, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator. It can last up to 3-5 days.
What if my quick and simple milk pudding recipe is still soft after the cooking time recommended?
If the pudding is still soft after the cooking time, continue microwaving it in 1-minute intervals, checking for doneness with a toothpick each time. It may need more time depending on the power of your microwave.
