Ingredients for Salted Caramel Pudding
- Cashews – They are the core ingredient of this dessert, that give it its beautiful rich and creamy texture. When soaked in hot water, cashews become tender, and are ready to be blended to create creams, raw desserts or to thicken sauces. To make salted caramel pudding you need raw, unroasted, unsalted cashews. In other words, natural cashews in all their simplicity. Make sure to use good quality nuts. Check the color, firmness and smell. I always recommend to taste one nut before using to check if they’re not rancid.
- Water – You just need a little of water to thin the cream and reach the perfect smooth, silky but still thick and rich consistency. Don’t hesitate to adjust the quantity of water to get this result.
- Maple syrup – I choose maple syrup to sweeten this pudding as it has this delicious deep caramel like flavor. Make sure to use high quality grade A maple syrup. However, you can use any other liquid sweetener like agave, date or coconut nectar, but this might change the taste.
- Vanilla – Vanilla extract adds deepness to the salted caramel pudding and enhance all the other flavors. You can use any natural vanilla extract of your choice. Preferably use one that has no artificial flavors or colourings.
- Flaky sea salt – Salted caramel pudding wouldn’t be complete without the salt! It’s unreal how a simple pinch of this ingredient can completely uplift a recipe! It brightens all the flavors and perfectly balance the sweetness of the cream. I recommend to use good quality flaky sea salt. Start with a pinch and increase until you reach the right taste!
Salted Caramel Pudding FAQ
Why do I need to soak the cashews?
Soaking the cashews in hot water before using helps them to soften and get a very smooth and silky cream. This is even more important if you don’t have a powerful blender as it makes the process easier. So don’t skip this important step!
Why is my cream so thick?
The precision of the measuring the ingredients and their quality can lead to small differences in consistency. Start with the quantities indicated in the recipe card, then slowly increase the quantity of water if you need to soften the cream.
How to serve salted caramel pudding?
These salted caramel pudding custards are already terribly good on themselves! However, I’ll never say no to a few little toppings to elevate the tasting experience! I love to drizzle with homemade caramel sauce or maple syrup, some granola or roasted nuts for crunchiness, and finish with an extra pinch of salt!
How long does salted caramel pudding last
Tightly covered with plastic wrap, salted caramel pudding keeps in the fridge for 3 up to 4 days, or even more if well stored. I kept mine for more than a week. Enjoy straight out of the fridge, on its own or garnished with your favorite toppings.
