Brazilian Pudding
Brazilian Pudding is a luscious, caramel-flavored dessert with a smooth texture, perfect for those who enjoy rich, sweet treats with a hint of caramel aroma.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the sugar until brown in a Bundt cake pan.
- Add the eggs, condensed milk, and milk to the caramelized sugar.
- Cover with a lid and boil.
- Cook in a double boiler pan for 1 1/2 hours.
- Let the pudding cool before removing from the pan.
- Refrigerate before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture before cooking. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute half of the condensed milk with evaporated milk. Ensure the sugar is melted completely to avoid any graininess in the pudding. To achieve a smooth texture, blend the ingredients before pouring them into the Bundt pan.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Brazilian pudding chilled, drizzled with caramel sauce or fresh fruit for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful contrast, consider serving alongside a light salad or a refreshing fruit platter to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Avoid reheating the entire pudding at once, as it may alter its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sugar for this recipe?
You can substitute white sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor, but it may alter the color of the caramel. Alternatively, coconut sugar can be used for a healthier option, although it will impart a unique flavor to the pudding.
What if I don't have a Bundt pan?
If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can use any heatproof dish suitable for steaming, such as a round cake pan or a loaf pan. Just ensure it's properly greased to help with the removal of the pudding after cooking.
How do I know when the pudding is done?
The pudding is done when it is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it jiggles too much, it may need more time in the double boiler. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
