Soft, creamy, and delicious, Japanese custard puddings are truly heaven in food form. From the sweet and slight burnt taste of the caramel to the silky and light tastes of the pudding, one serving of this glorious delicacy cannot satisfy one's taste buds enough. It is a classic-favorite dish in traditional Japanese cafés and dessert shops, perfectly fitting for an afternoon tea treat. The first time I tried a custard pudding in Japan, it was a mind blowing experience. I still remember the taste of the pudding vividly: rich vanilla, not too sweet, light hints of sea salt, and the creamy milk from Hokkaido. These ingredients brought the pudding to the next level. I hope this recipe can help you to make a custard pudding close to that level, too.
