Ingredients (2 servings)
Caramel Base
- 35g brown sugar
- 20g water
Milk Pudding
- Organic pure milk (about 1½ bottles)
- 2 eggs
- Optional: a few drops of vanilla extract or lemon juice

Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Make the Caramel
Add brown sugar and water to a small pan.
Simmer over low heat until the sugar melts and turns amber.
Once ready, pour the caramel into two serving bowls.
Tilt the bowls gently so the caramel coats the bottom evenly.
Set aside.
Step 2: Beat the Eggs
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk until fully combined
If you’re worried about egg smell, add:
- a few drops of vanilla extract or
- a little lemon juice
This step really helps keep the pudding clean and fragrant.
Step 3: Mix in the Milk (Very Important!)
Make sure the milk is completely cooled.
Slowly pour the milk into the egg mixture while stirring gently.
⚠️ If the milk is warm, you’ll end up with egg drop soup not pudding.
For an extra smooth texture, strain the mixture once.
Step 4: Steam the Pudding
Pour the custard mixture into the caramel bowls.
Cover with plastic wrap.
Steam after the water boils:
- Steam for 10 minutes
- Turn off heat and let sit for another 10 minutes
Don’t open the lid too early patience makes it silky.
Step 5: Cook the Brown Sugar Boba
While the pudding is steaming, let’s make the boba.
Add cooked tapioca pearls, brown sugar, and a little water to a pan.
Cook over low heat, stirring gently until the sauce thickens and coats the boba.
Sticky, shiny, and super chewy perfect.
Step 6: Assemble & Enjoy
Once the caramel milk pudding is done, top generously with brown sugar boba.
Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
The contrast of:
- silky caramel pudding
- chewy boba
- rich brown sugar syrup
…is seriously next level.
