Pudim de Leite

Pudim de Leite is a creamy Brazilian flan that is smooth and rich, perfect for a delightful breakfast. This vegetarian dessert is a sweet indulgence that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients

• Sweetened condensed milk - 200 grams
• Whole milk - 200 milliliters
• Eggs - 2 large
• Sugar - 100 grams (for caramel)
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Pinch of salt

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a golden brown, swirling the pan to avoid burning. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
5. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with hot water (this is a water bath) to help cook the pudim evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the pudim is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudim and invert it onto a plate.
