Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice: Dulce de Leche Pudding

Dulce de Leche Pudding

Ingredients:

1 cup dulce de leche chips
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs (separated)
1/4 cup icing sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour
Fresh berries, Whipped cream, Ice Cream (optional)


Directions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 450°F or 230°C.  Combine the dulce de leche chips and butter.

2. Melt in the microwave (1 minute first then in 30-second bursts until mostly melted.  Stir in between bursts.).
Stir in the salt and set aside to cool down a little bit.

3. Whip the egg whites until you have soft peaks.  Set aside.

4. Combine the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract.

5. Whisk manually or using a mixer just until well-combined.

6. Slowly pour in the melted dulce de leche.

7. Whisk until combined.

8. Add the flour.

9. Mix together.  Do not over mix.

10. Add in the whipped egg whites.

11. Fold in.

12. You can use ramekins, but I only had 4, so I decided to just use my muffin tray.
Lightly grease your ramekins or muffin tray with butter or cooking spray.

13. Bake for about 12-14 minutes.  I actually first wanted to do a lava cake,
but I got distracted :p  I will try doing this again as lava cake another time, by just baking for about 8-10 minutes.

14. Remove from the moulds and rest for about 5 minutes.  I just placed baking paper on top of an inverted sheet tray
then placed it on top of the muffin tray and flipped it.

15. Serve with some fruits and ice cream or whipped cream on the side.
Plate and Enjoy! :)
