Adım adım

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

2. 2

   For the caramel, combine the caramel sugar and caramel water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

3. 3

   Cook over medium heat without stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns into a deep amber caramel.

   Yaklaşık 8 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Swirl the pan gently if needed to ensure even cooking, but avoid stirring with a spoon.

4. 4

   Carefully pour the hot caramel into a 20cm (8-inch) Bundt pan or fluted mold, tilting the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Work quickly as the caramel sets fast. Use oven mitts to protect your hands.

5. 5

   For the pudim, combine the pudim sugar, pudim water, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick in a separate saucepan.

6. 6

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to create a syrup.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

7. 7

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool slightly, then remove the lemon zest and cinnamon stick.

   Yaklaşık 10 dk.

8. 8

   In a large bowl, gently whisk the egg yolks until just combined.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Do not overwhisk, as you don't want to incorporate too much air.

9. 9

   Gradually pour the warm syrup into the egg yolks in a thin stream, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Pouring too quickly can scramble the yolks.

10. 10

    Stir in the port wine and pork fat.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

    Aşçının notu: Ensure the pork fat is very finely chopped or rendered for best integration.

11. 11

    Pour the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared caramel-lined mold.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

    Aşçının notu: This step ensures a super smooth custard by removing any bits of zest, cinnamon, or pork fat.

12. 12

    Place the mold into a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water to come halfway up the sides of the mold, creating a bain-marie.

    Yaklaşık 1 dk.

    Aşçının notu: A bain-marie helps the custard cook gently and evenly, preventing cracks.

13. 13

    Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

    Yaklaşık 1 sa.

    Aşçının notu: The cooking time can vary, so check for doneness by gently shaking the pan.

14. 14

    Remove the pudim from the oven and the water bath, then let it cool completely at room temperature.

    Yaklaşık 1 sa.

15. 15

    Once cool, cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

    Yaklaşık 4 sa.

    Aşçının notu: Chilling is crucial for the pudim to fully set and for the flavors to meld.

16. 16

    To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the pudim.

17. 17

    Place a serving plate upside down over the mold, then invert the pudim onto the plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle down.

    Aşçının notu: If the caramel is too firm, you can briefly dip the bottom of the mold in hot water before inverting.
