Velvety, creamy, and crowned with a golden caramel glaze, this traditional Brazilian Pudim is a timeless dessert made with just a handful of ingredients. A smooth baked custard using sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and eggs — it’s the perfect make-ahead treat for holidays, parties, or indulgent weekends.
Ingredients
For the Caramel:
-
1 cup (200 g) sugar

1/2 cup (120 ml) water

-
1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk
-
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk

Notes
-

-
Use a fine mesh strainer when pouring the custard for an ultra-smooth texture.
