How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this scrumptious dessert!
- In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This will be your caramel.
- Once the caramel is ready, quickly pour it into a round baking dish, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the blended pudding mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking pan filled with water (this is called a water bath).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes or until set.
- Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Before serving, melt the chocolate chips and drizzle them over the top for an extra touch of decadence!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Pudim de Leite Defumado e Chocolate Caramelizado turns out perfectly:
- Make sure to blend the pudding mixture thoroughly for a smooth texture.
- Keep an eye on the caramel as it cooks; it can go from perfect to burnt in seconds!
- For a fun twist, try adding a splash of your favorite liqueur to the pudding mixture.
- If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought caramel sauce instead of making your own.
- Don’t skip the chilling step; it helps the flavors meld beautifully!
