This classic caramel pudding is silky smooth with a dreamy layer of deep golden caramel on top. No oven needed — just steam it and chill. It’s ridiculously easy and always a hit.
To make the caramel, add sugar and water to a pan, stir gently, then heat (no stirring). When it turns deep golden amber, take off heat. Quickly pour into 4 ramekins and swirl to coat bottom.
While the caramel cools, warm condensed milk and water in a pan for 1 min to combine, don’t boil.
Let it cool slightly. Strain the beaten eggs to the milk mixture. Then add vanilla.
