Ingredients

For the Pudding:

• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 can of milk (use the condensed milk can as a measure)
• 3 whole eggs

For the Ice Cream:

• 500ml of ice cream of your choice (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry)

For the Syrup:

• 1 cup of sugar
• ½ cup of water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Syrup: In a saucepan, place the sugar and heat over low heat. Let it melt until it becomes a golden caramel. Carefully add the water and stir until the sugar lumps dissolve. Pour the syrup into a pudding mold (18cm diameter).
2. Prepare the Pudding: In a blender, add the condensed milk, milk, and eggs. Blend for about 2 minutes, until smooth.
3. Incorporate the Ice Cream: Add the ice cream to the blender and blend quickly, just to mix (do not overmix, or the ice cream will melt).
4. Bake the Pudding: Pour the mixture into the caramelized mold. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F), in a water bath, for approximately 50 minutes, or until firm.
5. Chill: Remove from the oven, let it cool, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding.
6. Serve: Unmold the Ice Cream Pudding and serve chilled.

Tips and Variations

• Ice Cream Flavor Variation: Try using different ice cream flavors to vary the taste of your Ice Cream Pudding.
• Chocolate Syrup: Replace the caramel syrup with chocolate syrup for an even more indulgent version.
• Add Fruits: Add pieces of fruit like strawberries, bananas, or peaches to the pudding mixture for a special touch.
• Creamy Texture: To ensure an even creamier texture, use tub ice cream and do not overmix after adding it to the mixture.

CHEF’s Tips

To ensure your Ice Cream Pudding turns out perfectly, it’s crucial to pay attention to ingredient temperature and baking time. Make sure the ice cream is slightly softened before adding it to the mixture, making it easier to incorporate without completely melting. When preparing the water bath, use hot water to speed up the cooking process and ensure even heat distribution. The ideal consistency for the pudding is when it’s firm around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. Refrigeration is essential for the pudding to set and develop flavor, so don’t skip this step. Also, try adding a touch of lemon or orange zest to the batter to enhance the dessert’s freshness. The Ice Cream Pudding is an excellent option to impress your guests with a simple, refreshing, and incredibly delicious dessert.
