How to make Dulce de Leche Pudding
- Step 1
In a bowl, place the eggs, add the sugar and neutral oil, and beat everything until the ingredients are combined and form a light cream.
- Step 2
Add the milk to the mixture and gradually incorporate the previously sifted flour, mixing everything until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous batter.
- Step 3
Finally, add the baking powder and gently mix using folding motions.
- Step 4
Pour the batter into a rectangular baking dish that has been greased and floured beforehand.
- Step 5
Bake the pudding for about 40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F).
- Step 6
In a bowl, beat half of the dulce de leche with the light syrup until you achieve a thin sauce.
- Step 7
Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven, and when it is warm, poke holes in the surface with a fork and drizzle it with the dulce de leche and syrup mixture.
- Step 8
In another bowl, mix the remaining dulce de leche with the fresh cream and use it to cover the pudding.
- Step 9
Serve the dulce de leche pudding cold, alone or garnished with previously hydrated prunes or chopped peanuts.
