Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- 3~4 egg yolks
- 200ml heavy cream
- 100ml milk

- A little vanilla extract (optional)
Recipe 🍳
- Separate the egg yolks into a bowl, add sugar, 100ml milk, 200ml heavy cream, and a touch of vanilla extract.
- Mix well until combined, then strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve for a smoother texture.
- Divide the egg mixture into shallow, wide ceramic bowls.
- Tightly cover the tops of the bowls with plastic wrap, sealing completely.
- Place in a steamer and steam gently for about 15 minutes until set like custard pudding.
- Let the steamed pudding cool in the refrigerator, then evenly sprinkle sugar over the top.
- Using a kitchen torch, gently caramelize the sugar from a distance, moving in circles, until a crispy golden caramel layer forms.
- Mix egg yolks, heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract, then strain.
- Pour into shallow bowls, seal tightly with plastic wrap, and steam for 15 minutes, then cool.
- Sprinkle sugar over the cooled pudding and torch to create a crispy caramel layer.
Cooking tips 💡
- Using a wide, shallow bowl is recommended, as deep bowls require longer steaming time and may not cook evenly.
- Seal the plastic wrap tightly to prevent steam from entering, which can cause a rough surface; proper sealing ensures a smooth pudding.
- When torching the sugar, keep the flame at a distance and move in circles to avoid burning; gentle, even heat melts the sugar evenly.
