Purin プリン
Purin プリン is a Japanese custard pudding featuring a caramel sauce base topped with a smooth custard made from milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla essence. The caramel is cooked to an amber color and poured into pudding molds, followed by a strained custard mixture. The custard is steamed in a water bath to gently cook it to a soft, creamy texture, resulting in a delicate dessert served chilled.
