Ingredients
  

For the Caramel
  • 100 g Granulated sugar

Method
 

Make the Caramel

  2. Place them in a blender with the whole milk and blend until smooth.
Cook the Pudding

  2. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Set and Chill
  1. Pour the thickened pudding over the hardened caramel and smooth the top.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours.
Serve
  1. Run a thin knife around the edges of the mold, place a serving plate on top, and flip it carefully.
  2. Serve chilled, drizzled with caramel and topped with banana slices or whipped cream if desired.
