Pudding
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cup water
9 egg
1 3/4 cup milk
Meringue
3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup lime juice

Directions

  • Pudding

    • Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

    • Step 2

      In a small saucepan, heat white sugar and water over medium heat, stirring constantly until combined. Once combined, take the syrup off the heat and let it cool completely.

    • Step 3

      In a large bowl, beat the eggs and add milk. Once combined, add the syrup to the egg mixture.

    • Step 4

      To ensure a silky smooth texture, strain the egg and milk mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, removing any lumps. If you don’t have a mesh sieve, use a cheesecloth to strain the mixture or carefully use a slotted spoon to gently skim the top of the mixture and remove any lumps.

    • Step 5

      Pour the egg and milk mixture into a baking dish or ramekins.

    • Step 6

      Place the baking dish or ramekins inside a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water, making sure it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish or ramekins.

    • Step 7

      Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).

    • Step 8

      Once the pudding is baked, remove it from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
