- Coat the entire interior of a pudding mold or flan pan with a generous layer of liquid caramel before pouring in the milk and egg mixture.
- Place the mold into a larger pan filled with hot water to create a bain-marie and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 40 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Allow the pudding to cool completely in the refrigerator before carefully inverting onto a rimmed serving plate to let the caramel syrup drape over the sides.
- Decorate the top with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant pop of color before slicing and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use alternatives to sweetened condensed milk?
Yes, you can use evaporated milk with added sugar as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk. Mix 1 cup of evaporated milk with 1/3 cup of sugar and blend until well combined for a similar sweetness and consistency.
How should I store the Pudim de Ovos after making it?
After cooling the Pudim de Ovos, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
What should I do if the pudding doesn't set properly?
If your pudding doesn't set after baking, this could be due to underbaking or having too much liquid in the mixture. Ensure you bake it until the center is only slightly jiggly and consider increasing the baking time by 5-10 minutes if needed. Using a thermometer to check for an internal temperature of around 70°C (160°F) can also help ensure it sets properly.
