Make Caramel: Gently melt 50g sugar in a pan over medium-low heat until golden.
Coat Bowl: Pour hot caramel into your pudding bowl, swirling to coat the bottom and sides, then let cool.
Reduce Milk: Heat 1 liter milk with 2 tbsp sugar, simmering until it reduces to about half its original volume (approx. 500ml). Let cool to lukewarm.
Egg Mixture: Whisk 3 eggs with 1 tablespoon vanilla essence until well combined.
Combine: Gradually whisk the lukewarm reduced milk into the egg mixture.
Strain: Strain the egg and milk mixture into the caramel-coated bowl.
