Chocolate pudding
In a blender, combine eggs, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cocoa powder; blend for 2 minutes
Caramel
In the pudding mold, combine sugar and water to make caramel; be careful not to burn. Let cool
Assembly
Once the caramel is cool, pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the mold, followed by the batter
Cover the mold with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 200Β°C (392Β°F) in a water bath for 1 hour
After 1 hour, remove the foil, insert a knife; if it comes out clean, the dessert is done
Tips
Start with the caramel; it must be cool before adding the pudding mixture
When adding the batter on top of the pudding, do not spread it; pour in one spot
Use all ingredients at room temperature
While the cake is still warm, run a knife around the edges and unmold
