This is the Divine Classic Crème Caramel, a ‘French style custard topped with […] caramel sauce’.
Every package included 2 cups. Serving the pudding involved removing the foil lid, inverting it onto a serving dish, and then squeezing the cup to release the pudding. Despite the instructions suggesting a ‘gentle’ squeeze, the force of a regular squeeze was necessary to effectively release the pudding.
The pudding displayed an opaque yellow hue, while the caramel appeared as a translucent red-orange color. It emitted a sweet, eggy aroma and exhibited the characteristic jiggle often seen in promotional videos. On tasting, the pudding delivered a rich vanilla flavor with a smooth, thick custard-like consistency. While it maintained its shape and cut smoothly, it developed a somewhat gluggy texture on the palate, lacking the silky quality of homemade crème caramels. In addition, the caramel not only lacked a true caramel taste but also had a fruity yet chemical quality and an oddly orange color. Overall, both the textures and flavors of this pudding did not align with our preferences.
This Divine Classic Crème Caramel contained 2 x 150 g tubs. It was produced in Australia and received as a promotional gift in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
