Caramel pudding is a baked custard made with milk, eggs and sugar, with caramel in the mould that becomes a sauce when the dessert is turned out. The custard is gently cooked in a water bath so it sets without scorching.
This caramel pudding is the same style of dessert often called flan or crème caramel: a smooth baked custard served with a caramel sauce. In some English-speaking regions, “pudding” can mean a different dessert, so the name varies by place.
Set the caramel pudding mould inside a larger baking dish, then pour hot water into the outer dish so it reaches partway up the mould. Bake gently until the edges are set and the centre still has a slight wobble.
Caramel pudding develops holes or a rubbery texture when the custard gets too hot and the eggs overcook. Use a gentle oven temperature, avoid beating air into the mixture, and keep the water bath from boiling vigorously.
To unmould caramel pudding cleanly, chill it until fully set, loosen the edge with a thin knife, and briefly warm the base of the mould. Place a serving plate over it and invert the mould in one confident motion.
The caramel on caramel pudding hardens as it cools, but it should soften into sauce while the chilled custard rests in the mould. If the sugar was cooked until very dark or the dessert has not rested, the layer may stay firm or taste bitter.
Yes, caramel pudding is well suited to making ahead because chilling helps the custard set and lets the caramel turn into sauce. Keep it covered in the refrigerator in its mould and unmould it shortly before serving.
Caramel pudding keeps for a few days in the refrigerator when covered and kept cold. Because it contains eggs and milk, do not leave it out for extended periods, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Freezing caramel pudding is not recommended. The custard can become watery or grainy after thawing, and the caramel sauce may separate; refrigerate it instead and enjoy it while its texture is smooth.
Caramel pudding is usually served on its own so the custard and caramel remain the focus. Fresh berries or sliced fruit add a tart contrast, while unsweetened coffee makes a good pairing without adding more sweetness.

Caramel Pudding is the French-style baked custard known as crème caramel: milk, eggs and sugar are gently set in a mould, with caramel becoming a glossy sauce when the dessert is turned out. Its texture is smooth and delicate, and its flavour balances mellow dairy sweetness with the slight bitterness of cooked sugar. It is served chilled, often after a meal or alongside coffee. In the US, the name can also suggest a starch-thickened pudding; this version is an egg-set custard.
It offers some protein, but is mainly a sweet source of carbohydrates, with a modest amount of fat. A smaller serving works well after a substantial meal, and fresh berries or sliced fruit make a good accompaniment.
