It’s gentle on the ingredients, low on effort, and high on satisfaction. Best of all, it’s steamed, not baked—so it works even if you don’t have an oven at home.

Step-by-Step Caramel Pudding Instructions
Let’s walk through the steps together—from caramel to pudding to steaming. Take your time, and don’t skip the tips!
Step 1: Make the Caramel
1. In a small pot, combine 30g white sugar and 30g water.
2. Use low heat, and don’t stir—just let it cook.
3. The mixture will bubble and slowly turn golden. Once it becomes amber-colored, turn off the heat.
4. Carefully pour in 15g hot water (stand back, it may splash).
5. Gently swirl the pot to mix the caramel.
6. Pour the hot caramel into your pudding cups quickly—it hardens as it cools.
Step 2: Mix the Pudding Base
1. Break 2 eggs into a mixing bowl.
2. Add 20g white sugar and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
3. Gradually add 200g warm milk, whisking gently to prevent bubbles.
4. (Optional) Add a few drops of vanilla extract.
5. Strain the mixture twice through a fine sieve to remove lumps and foam. This ensures silky texture.
Step 3: Combine and Cover
1. Pour the pudding mixture over the cooled caramel in each cup.
2. Cover each cup tightly with foil or plastic wrap.
3. Use a toothpick to poke 2–3 small holes in the wrap to let steam escape.
Step 4: Steam the Pudding
1. Place the cups into a preheated steamer with boiling water.
2. Steam over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
3. Turn off the heat and leave the cups in the steamer with the lid on for another 5 minutes to set fully.
Step 5: Cool and Unmold
1. Let the puddings cool at room temperature, then chill them in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
2. To unmold, run a thin spatula around the edge of each cup.
3. Place a plate over the cup, flip it upside down, and gently lift.
4. Watch as the golden caramel flows over the smooth pudding—ready to serve!
Extra Tips for Success
1. Always strain the egg-milk mixture—this makes or breaks the texture.
2. Don’t rush the caramel. Keep the heat low and be patient.
3. Use heat-safe cups that fit inside your steamer.
4. Want to double the recipe? Just keep the ingredient ratio consistent.
