How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this delightful dessert!

1. Prepare the Caramel: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly.
2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the Yakult, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the blended mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with water (this is called a water bath). Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Chill: Once baked, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
6. Serve: To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding, then invert it onto a plate. Enjoy your creamy, dreamy Pudim de Yakult!
