Dulce de Leche Pudding Cups

Dulce de leche pudding cups with deep caramel flavor built in from the first whisk โ€” luscious, no-cook, melt-together rich.

These dulce de leche pudding cups build the caramel in from the start โ€” salted caramel pudding mix whisked into cold milk for full caramel flavor, then folded with sweetened condensed milk for a luscious, melt-together finish.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package Fancy Monkey Salted Caramel Pudding Mix
  • 1ยฝ cups Cold whole milk
  • 4 Tbsp Sweetened condensed milk
  • Pinch Flaky sea salt, to finish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Make the pudding
    Add the Fancy Monkey Salted Caramel Pudding Mix to a bowl. Whisk the cold milk into the powder for 2 full minutes until smooth and beginning to thicken.
  2. Combine and serve
    Fold the sweetened condensed milk into the pudding. For a marbled effect, donโ€™t fully incorporate โ€” leave visible streaks swirled through. Divide into four cups and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve right away, or chill briefly for a firmer set.

TIPS

The flaky sea salt on top is not optional; itโ€™s what makes the caramel flavor pop. Fold the condensed milk in gently and leave a few visible streaks for a marbled finish. Top with a cloud of Fancy Monkey Fancy Whipped Cream just before serving for a dinner party-worthy finish. Keeps covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

FAQ

Whisk salted caramel pudding mix into cold milk for full caramel flavor, then fold in sweetened condensed milk for a luscious, melt-together finish โ€” no cooking.

What is the difference between dulce de leche and caramel?

Dulce de leche is made by slowly caramelizing sweetened milk, giving it a deeper, milkier caramel flavor than sugar-based caramel.

Can you make these pudding cups ahead?

Yes โ€” they set firmer in the fridge and hold a day or two, covered.

Is it very sweet?

Itโ€™s rich โ€” the salted caramel mix balances the sweetness; a pinch of flaky salt on top cuts it further.

How should I serve them?

In small glasses or jars, topped with whipped cream, a caramel drizzle, and flaky salt.
