• 1 cup sugar
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns golden brown to make the caramel. Carefully pour it into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

3. 3

   In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Pour the blended mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

5. 5

   Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

8. 8

   To serve, carefully invert the pudim onto a serving plate so the caramel side is on top.
