Port Wine Pudding | Traditional Portuguese Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 00 g of sugar + 2 tablespoons of water for the caramel
• 200 g of brown or white sugar
• 1 spoon of flour
• 1 orange (zest)
• 6 eggs
• 6 dl of milk
• 100 ml port wine

Frosting:

• 100g powdered sugar
• lemon juice

PREPARATION:

In a pan, make the caramel. Place the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water over low heat. When it starts to melt and take on color on the sides, stir with a wooden spoon to mix and melt evenly. When the caramel is no longer opaque, remove from the heat.

When the caramel is no longer opaque, remove from the heat.

Pour the caramel into the pudding mold, covering the central cone and spreading it around the sides using a wooden spoon.

In a bowl, place the sugar, flour and orange zest.

Add the eggs, stirring constantly. Add the milk and port wine, stirring constantly.

Pour the mixture into the caramelized pudding mold.

Cover and place in a pan that fits the mold, with two fingers of water at the bottom, already boiling slightly (the mold must be firm on the bottom and not float in the water). Cover the pan and cook the pudding over medium heat for around 40 minutes.

Lift the lid of the pan and test whether the pudding is cooked well by touching it with your finger. The texture should be firm and smooth.

Once cooked, remove the pan from the pan and let it cool. When it is cold, place it in the fridge and remove it the next day.
