Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 packet (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Whipped cream for topping
• Pinch of salt

How to Make Caramel Cream Pudding

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm and the sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
4. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it into serving cups or a large bowl.
5. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours, or until it is set.
6. Once the pudding is set, top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any lumps in your pudding.
• For an extra flavor boost, consider infusing the cream with a cinnamon stick or a few coffee beans while heating.
• Chill your serving cups in the refrigerator beforehand for an elegant touch.

Easy Variations

• For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate to the cream mixture before chilling.
• Incorporate a layer of crushed cookies or fruit at the bottom of the cups for added texture.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce instead of caramel for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries for a tart contrast to the sweetness.
• A sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the caramel flavor.
• Coffee or espresso to balance the richness.
• Shortbread cookies for a delightful crunch.
