Homemade Dulce de Leche Pudding

Homemade dulce de leche pudding with a hint of coffee. Creamy and so easy to make.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. And some of us are getting ready to make something special for our loved ones.

So what's your plan? Do you make a whole meal? maybe a gift? I just focus on the dessert 😊

This from scratch pudding is so easy to make, you won't be going back to store-bought ones.

Homemade Dulce de Leche Pudding

The recipe for today was inspired by my two friends who moved to Paraguay less than a year ago.

Coming from a country where almost everything is pre-made or ready to eat.

Homemade pudding

Yes. Homemade pudding is one of those desserts that is so easy to make at home, you won't be going back to store-bought ones.

The ingredients for making pudding at home, are very similar to those used for making flan. Eggs, milk and cream.

But unlike flan, pudding is cooked in a saucepan, on a hob. It takes very little time to cook it and the consistency is softer, but creamy at the same time. More like a custard.

Dulce de leche pudding

And because we can't just make vanilla pudding, that'll be too boring, we are adding dulce de leche and some coffee.

Yes! those two go amazingly well together 😋

Dulce de leche is similar to caramel, but with a firmer consistency. It's very popular here in South America and a lot of the desserts have it.

Coffee, I used instant coffee. If you don't have it, use 1 tablespoon of brewed coffee.

This dulce de leche is amazing by its own. But because I'm making it for a special occasion, I added an oreo base and then topped it with some whipped cream and more dulce de leche.

Homemade pudding for two

This homemade pudding serves two portions. But who says you only need two portions? double the recipe and save the rest for the next day.

Enjoy your pudding!

    Any idea how long this might keep in the fridge? I am thinking of making it 4-5 days prior to eating. Do you think it will keep okay?

      Yes, up to 5 days. But if you are adding whipped cream, add it before serving.
