Lactose-Free Condensed Milk Pudding: A Delight for Everyone

Lactose-free condensed milk pudding: a delight for everyone is one of the most traditional and beloved desserts in Brazil. However, for those with lactose intolerance, this delight can become a problem. Fortunately, you can make a lactose-free condensed milk pudding that is equally delicious and creamy and pleases every palate. In this article, we share a detailed lactose-free condensed milk pudding recipe, including tips to make sure your pudding turns out perfect.

Quality Ingredients

Ingredients Needed

• 1 can lactose-free sweetened condensed milk (good quality)
• 1 can lactose-free cream (good quality)
• 1 cup plant-based milk (whole, skim, or your preference)
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

Step by Step

1. Making the Caramel: In a saucepan, add the sugar and cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns into a golden caramel. Carefully add the water little by little and keep stirring until you get a smooth syrup. Pour the caramel into a pudding mold, spreading it well over the bottom and sides. Set aside.
2. Pudding Mixture: In a blender, place the lactose-free sweetened condensed milk, the lactose-free cream, the plant-based milk, and the eggs. Blend well until smooth and creamy.
3. Assembly: Pour the pudding mixture into the caramel-coated mold.
4. Water-Bath Baking: Cover the mold with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F in a water bath (place the pudding mold inside a larger baking pan with hot water). Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cooling: Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding.
6. Unmolding and Serving: Run a knife around the pudding to loosen the sides. Place a plate over the mold and flip it in one motion to unmold the pudding. Serve chilled.

Tips for a Perfect Pudding

1. Perfect Caramel: Stir the sugar constantly while making the caramel so it does not burn. Add the water little by little to avoid splattering.
2. Condensed Milk and Cream: Use good-quality lactose-free products to guarantee an authentic flavor.
3. Water Bath: Make sure the water in the water-bath pan stays hot, adding more if needed during baking.
4. Chill Time: Keep the pudding in the refrigerator long enough to set firmly before unmolding.
