Date syrup is a natural sweetener with a unique taste.

Add sugar and water in the pan for caramel.

Heat up on medium heat.

Keep boiling the mixture until it turns brown, adjusting the heat to avoid burning.

Once the caramel reaches the desired color, pour it into the container for the custard mixture.

Warm the milk until lukewarm, do not overheat.

Beat the eggs without overbeating to avoid bubbles.

Add sugar, salt, and lukewarm milk to the eggs and continue mixing.

Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Strain the mixture once or twice to achieve a smooth custard texture.

Preheat the oven to 320 F (approximately 160 C).

Pour the custard mixture into the container with the caramel.

Cover the container with foil.

Prepare a pan with hot water and place the container in it.

Bake the pudding for 40 minutes.

Poke with a toothpick; if it does not stick, it is done.

Cool it down in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight for better taste.
