Caramelize the Sugar
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, place 1 cup of sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar begins to melt and turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn it. Once the sugar is fully melted and has reached a rich amber color, carefully add 1 cup of water. Stir gently to combine, and allow it to cook for a few more minutes until smooth and syrupy. -
Prepare the Pudding Base
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Stir to mix evenly. Add the eggs one at a time, beating continuously as you incorporate them into the dry mixture. Then, add the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. -
Combine the Mixtures
Gradually pour the caramelized sugar syrup into the egg and flour mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Continue cooking this mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. -
Layer with Wafers
Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Begin assembling the dessert by layering wafers in the bottom of a serving dish. Then, pour a layer of the caramel pudding over the wafers. Repeat the process, alternating between layers of wafers and pudding, until all ingredients are used. -
Top with Meringue
For a decadent finishing touch, prepare a meringue topping. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form and spread the meringue over the final layer of pudding. Place the dish in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until the meringue turns golden brown. -
Serve and Enjoy
Allow the caramel pudding to cool completely before serving. The layers will set nicely, and the sweet caramel flavor will be even more pronounced as it chills. Slice into squares and serve chilled for a perfect dessert that will leave everyone coming back for more.
This Caramel Pudding is the perfect treat to serve at your next family gathering or special event. Its rich texture, sweet caramel flavor, and delicate layers make it a crowd-pleaser every time.
Enjoy making this decadent dessert and share it with your loved ones!
