How to Make Orange Pudding (Easy No-Bake Dessert)
Step 1: Place the sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it melts and turns into a golden amber caramel. Remove from the heat and immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of a 16 x 10 cm (6 1/3 x 4 inches) pudding mold, rotating the mold to coat the base evenly.
Step 2: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
Step 3: Soak the gelatin sheets in the milk for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Melt in microwave about 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and dissolve the gelatin in the milk with a fork.
Step 4: Using an electric mixer, beat the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, orange juice, and cinnamon on medium speed until you obtain a smooth and creamy mixture. Add the dissolved gelatin sheets along with the milk, then continue mixing until the mixture is completely incorporated.
Step 5: Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the previous mixture using a spatula.
Step 6: Pour the mixture into the pudding mold and refrigerate for about 6 hours or overnight, until set.
Step 7: Remove from the refrigerator, carefully unmold onto a serving plate, and serve.
Tips for
• Dissolve the gelatin completely to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
• Fold the beaten egg whites gently into the mixture to keep the pudding light and airy.
• Allow the caramel to reach a golden amber color, but avoid burning it.
• Chill the pudding for at least 6 hours so it unmolds cleanly.
• Run a thin knife around the edges and quickly dip the mold in warm water before unmolding.
• Serve chilled for a more refreshing taste.
