Jump to RecipeBefore we dive into the instructions, let's talk a little bit about the main ingredient of this recipe - eggs. In Japanese cuisine, eggs are considered a staple ingredient and are used in a variety of dishes, including desserts. In this pudding recipe, eggs are the star ingredient as they give the pudding its smooth and creamy texture. So, make sure to use fresh and high-quality eggs for the best results.
To make the caramel sauce, heat sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and turns golden brown. Pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of your pudding cups and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until well combined. Then, add in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until everything is well incorporated.
To achieve a smooth and silky texture, strain the pudding mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup or pitcher. This will help remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Take your pudding cups with the caramel sauce in the bottom and fill them with the pudding mixture. Leave some room at the top as the pudding will rise slightly while baking.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the pudding cups in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water, about halfway up the cups. This will create a water bath and help the puddings bake evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top of the pudding is set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Once done, remove the pudding cups from the water bath and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the cups and invert onto a plate to release the pudding with the caramel sauce on top. Enjoy your homemade Japanese custard pudding!
