A very famous dessert,easy to put together ,works like a charm for any party -The easy and best ever Flan/Crème Caramel/Caramel Custard Pudding!
Caramel Pudding / Custard /Flan, there are lot of names to this dish.So whatever you like to call it, the taste will remain same.
This has been on my menu for all my birthday parties since my childhood.I hardly remember,that as a child,I had opted for Ice-Cream instead of this custard.
This is soft,porous and melt in mouth pudding/custard is very delicious and easy to put together.
This recipe required eggs,but those who do not eat eggs can try my Eggless Caramel Pudding !
To get the caramel, first you need to melt the sugar in a pan over heat.Keep tilting the pan over the heat till the sugar starts to caramelize.
Make sure that the sugar does not burn and it browns without burning it.Once sugar fully caramelized,keep the pan to cool down.
In five minutes or so the pan will cool and the sugar will harden.
For the next part,you have to whisk the eggs,sugar and vanilla well till the mixture is all light and fluffy. There should not be any traces of egg whites in the mix.
To this add milk or instead use whipping cream too.Mix well and further add condensed milk.
Finally you need to pour this over caramelized sugar,and steam for 35 mins to 40 mins without the pressure cook weight.
