4 large eggs1 can (14 oz / 400 g) of cooked sweetened condensed milk3 cans (about 36 fl oz / 1 liter) of semi-skimmed milk (or 2% milk)6 slices of white sandwich bread (crusts removed if preferred)Seeds from 1 vanilla beanA dash of vanilla extractLiquid caramel (store-bought or homemade, enough to coat a bundt pan)
Preparation
Strain the eggs through a fine sieve into a blender or food processor.
Break the bread into pieces and add to the eggs, followed by the cooked condensed milk and regular milk.
Blend everything on high speed for about 30 seconds until smooth.
Add the vanilla seeds and a dash of vanilla extract. Blend briefly to combine.
Pour the mixture into a bundt pan greased with liquid caramel.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Pour hot water into a large pot until it reaches about 1/3 up the side of the pudding mold. Place the mold in the pot and cover the pot with another piece of foil or a lid to trap steam.
Cook over medium heat for about 1 hour.
Carefully remove the foil (watch out for steam!) and insert a knife, if it comes out clean, it’s done.
How to Cook the Cans of Condensed Milk (Stovetop Method)
Remove the labels from the cans of sweetened condensed milk.
Place the unopened cans in a deep pot or saucepan.
Fill the pot with water so the cans is fully submerged by at least 2 inches.
Bring the water to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 2 hours.
Check water level often and top up with hot water to keep the cans fully submerged at all times.
After the time is up, turn off the heat and let the cans cool completely in the water before opening.
