Quick Tips

• Make sure to prepare the right consistency of custard. If it's too thick then it will be hard in eating and if showing thin texture then it will be watery after chilling.
• Quickly shift the hot caramel to pudding mould otherwise it will be hard and difficult to manage.
• Don't cook the caramel for so long otherwise it will give the burnt taste.
• Use the right utensil to prepare custard otherwise it will stick to bottom and give burnt taste while eating and overall custard texture will be affected.
• Strain the custard before adding in milk. It will help to make smooth texture without lumps.
• You can use cornstarch to prepare this pudding. Alternatively, agar agar or gelatin can be used but it's not recommended for this recipe.

FAQ's

Why is my caramel custard watery?

To avoid watery caramel custard, make sure to make the perfect caramel texture using granulated sugar. In the same way, custard consistency is important. It should be semi-thick in texture. Use the appropriate amount of cornstarch so the custard can easily form a smooth and homogenous pudding texture. Refrigerate the pudding once it comes to room temperature.

How to cool down custard quickly?

You can place it under the fan, or turn on the Air conditioner. Don't place it refrigerator once it's hot otherwise it will show a watery texture.

Which Sugar is best to make caramel?

Best idea is to use granulated sugar to make caramel. As it shows the perfect texture then turn off the heat and immediately pour in your pudding dish to set otherwise it will crumble.

How long would it take to set the pudding?

In the refrigerator, it will take 01 or 2 hours to set.

Why does pudding stick to the pan bottom?

Use the right utensil to make custard as it has a tendency to stick so continuous stirring is important. Run the spoon through making your custard pudding otherwise it will stick to the bottom and give you the burnt taste.
