Creamy Caramel Pudding Cups

Introduction:
Creamy, silky, and deeply satisfying — these caramel pudding cups are a perfect balance of sweetness and smooth texture. Loved by both children and adults, this dessert captures the nostalgic essence of homemade caramel blended with velvety milk pudding. They’re portioned into small cups, making them ideal for gatherings, parties, or even for selling. Whether enjoyed chilled after a meal or as a comforting afternoon treat, each bite delivers a melt-in-your-mouth richness that’s impossible to resist.

Body:
These pudding cups are made with a simple yet luxurious combination of caramelized sugar, milk, butter, and a hint of vanilla. The mixture is gently cooked until it thickens into a luscious, glossy pudding that sets beautifully once chilled. The result is a rich caramel flavor with a creamy texture that’s smooth and decadent.

The process begins with caramelizing sugar until golden brown, then blending it with warm milk and a cornstarch mixture to achieve that signature consistency. The pudding is then poured into small plastic or glass cups, covered, and refrigerated until perfectly set. The small individual portions not only look professional but also make serving effortless.

Perfect for dessert tables, meal prep, or small business batches, these pudding cups can be enjoyed plain or topped with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Ingredients:

• A pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Prepare the caramel base: In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns golden brown, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn it.

2. Add milk carefully: Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. The caramel will harden slightly but will dissolve again as it heats.

3. Thicken the pudding: In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in ½ cup cold milk. Add this mixture to the saucepan and continue stirring until the pudding thickens and becomes smooth.

4. Add butter and vanilla: Remove from heat, stir in the butter and vanilla extract for extra creaminess and flavor.

5. Pour into cups: Immediately pour the pudding into small plastic or glass cups. Allow them to cool slightly before covering.

6. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until firm and creamy. Serve cold for the best texture and taste.
