In reply to Mars. Thank you for your comment. You are completely correct that this recipe was poorly written. I've attempted to correct it and will redo it as time permits.

Thank you for posting your recipe.
Two issues: it’s unclear whether it’s 1 and 1/4 cup of sugar or 1/4 cup of sugar for the caramel, because it seems to have this (|) in front making it hard to decipher the true amount. I figured it’s the latter and used 1/4 cup. I hit the 2x, 3x, on the the recipe to see if doubling the recipe will say the next quantity, but it stays as 1/4.
Second, and the biggest issue, you failed to mention when to add in the half& half. I was finished with tempering, only to realize I still haven’t used the half&half. Frantically, I check where I missed this step and how I was careless. But then I realize your recipe failed to mention this entire crucial step :/ Since you cited food.com, I went on their site instead, and it says I was supposed to add before tempering, but now it was too late. I now ended up adding it after the fact, because what else could I do. The pudding clumped, and was not smooth. It still tasted overall fine, but not the best due to this major error. Please proofread the recipes. Even the word caramel is misspelled in the header of the recipe. I see many comments and fans in the comment section here, but not one attempted to make the recipe, speaking volumes.

Yes you are right – too many would not be good for the figure – the eternal struggle to enjoy consciously –

In reply to polianthus. It is a wonderful delicious way to end any meal. To many of them would not be good for the figure though. :)

Julie, this pudding looks wonderful. I love the salted caramel topping! I am glad that your recovery is coming along well. Take care! Btw, since you asked, one dish that has become kind of a favorite that all my friends insist I make always is Mango Pie.
