The Sugar is melted to a caramel stage and poured into the mold and then the custard base is added and cooked. The milk can be flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or lemon peel. The Custard pudding is of milk, egg, custard powder, vanilla essence, and condensed milk for sweetness are whisked together. You can use sugar instead of condensed milk but make sure it is dissolved before pouring it into the mold.
Here, I steamed the pudding in the pressure cooker. For steaming Caramel custard pudding in a pressure cooker it is advisable to use one mold in this case. Place the mold in the pressure cooker and elevate the mold with a pressure cooker ring (or overturned flat-bottomed metal bowl). Pour water very carefully into the pressure cooker until it is about 2 inches below the rim of the mold. Hope you will enjoy this recipe and let me know your feedback in the comments.
