Pudim Abade de Priscos

Portuguese pudding dessert


Abbot of Priscos pudding (Portuguese: Pudim Abade de Priscos) is a typical Portuguese dessert, a rich crème caramel pudding created by Father Manuel Joaquim Machado Rebelo, the Abbot of Priscos, in the 19th century. The pudding is unique in that it contains bacon and a very large number of egg yolks — fifteen in total. According to its creator, "The pudding is rather easy to make, but difficult to get right."[1]

Method of preparation

Sugar is mixed in water with lemon zest, a cinnamon stick, and a piece of fresh bacon. The syrup is brought to a boil and then passed through a strainer into a bowl with fifteen egg yolks and a small glass of tawny or vintage Port. The resulting mixture is then cooked in a bain-marie, in a mould lined with caramel.[1][2]
