Pudding culture brought over from Portugal developed its own distinctive style in Brazil using sweetened condensed milk. It's an essential dessert after Sunday family lunch, with many households passing down their own version of the recipe across generations. The combination of a rich, moist custard and slightly bitter caramel sauce is simple yet universally cherished by Brazilians as "grandmother's flavor."
Make the caramel: combine sugar and water in a small pot over medium heat until golden, then pour into the mold.
In a bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, milk, and eggs until smooth.
Strain the mixture, then pour it over the caramel in the mold.
Cover the mold with foil, place in a baking pan filled with hot water, and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 40 minutes.
Once a skewer inserted comes out clean, it's done. Let cool, then chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Cover with a plate and flip to unmold, finishing the dish.
