Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of cream cheese?

Yes, you can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone cheese or even ricotta, but the texture and flavor may vary slightly. Make sure that the cheese you choose is soft and spreadable to achieve a similar consistency.

How should I store leftovers of the pudding?

Leftover pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to keep it for longer, you can freeze it for up to 2 months, but keep in mind that the texture may change slightly upon thawing.

What should I do if my caramel hardens before I pour in the batter?

If your caramel hardens, you can place it back on low heat to melt it again until it becomes pourable. Make sure to work quickly, as caramel can harden rapidly once removed from heat.

Recommended Drink Pairings

Wine

Portuguese: Vinho Verde - This light and slightly effervescent wine offers refreshing acidity that balances the richness of the pudding.

General: Moscato - The sweet and fruity profile of Moscato complements the creamy texture and flavors of cinnamon and vanilla in the pudding.

Beer

Portuguese: Super Bock - This lager's crisp and clean taste will enhance the dessert without overpowering its delicate flavors.

General: Wheat Beer - A light wheat beer with hints of citrus will harmonize with the lemon rind and creamy texture of the pudding.

Other Beverages

Espresso: A shot of espresso provides a rich and bold contrast to the sweetness of the pudding, enhancing the overall flavor experience.

Titled as Portuguese, in fact this is the Brazilian recipe for Pudim (or Creme Caramel in the English speaking world). True traditional Portuguese Pudim does not include condensed milk. I have Portuguese recipe books, written by native Portuguese authors dating back from the mid 90's who's recipes for this dessert have no condensed milk.
