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 milk pudding 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.

Recommended Drink Pairings

Wine

Portuguese: Vinho Verde - This light and slightly effervescent wine has a refreshing quality that complements the creaminess of the milk pudding.

General: Moscato - The sweetness and fruity notes of Moscato enhance the dessert's rich flavors without overpowering them.

Beer

Portuguese: Super Bock - This light lager offers a crisp finish that balances the sweetness of the pudding nicely.

General: Hefeweizen - The banana and clove notes of a Hefeweizen pair well with the creamy texture and sweetness of the dessert.

Other Beverages

Coffee: A lightly brewed coffee can provide a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the pudding, enhancing its flavors.

Is it sweetened condensed milk or just condensed milk?
Also what is liquid caramel?

Hi Rosa, always sweetened unless it says so, and this is the liquid caramel recipe.

This takes alot longer than 20mins if your going to let it cool properly. Prob needs to cool for over an hour unless you want the caramel to be really watery and the whole thing to go flop.
