How to Make the Recipe

5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pudim is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy it warm or chilled!
