- This delicious version of Peruvian Brown Sugar Pudding is inspired by a preparation from Piura, a northern region of Peru known for its ceramics and delicate gold work and that is also famous for a sweet, caramel-flavored pudding. It is traditionally made with goat’s milk, rice flour and chancaca, which is molasses made from solid sugar cane. The key to success on this recipe is stirring it constantly!

MAKE IT
Step 1
Place cornstarch and baking soda in large, heavy-duty saucepan. Add evaporated milk and water. Stir with wire whisk until dissolved. Add brown sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk and/or, heat-resistant rubber spatula, until sugar melts and thick, smooth consistency is reached, approximately 30 minutes.
