Pudim de Queijo Cheese Pudding This is a fairly simple cheese pudding that will satisfy your sweet tooth. It was popular enough at my home, though I'm not sure it's delicious enough to justify the fat and calories. I halved the recipe from the original one. Pudim de Queijo 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 8 oz soft goat cheese, grated or crumbled 6 egg yolks, beaten 2 egg whites, beaten. brown sugar white sugar Directions Preheat oven to 350F. Place sugar and water in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil mixture until it becomes a thick syrup, stirring frequently. Add the cheese and mix well. Remove from the heat. Add the egg yolks and white and mix well. Sprinkle the bottom of a 8"x8" glass baking pan with brown sugar. Pour the pudding mixture in. Place the baking pan in a larger pan with 2/3" water and bake in the oven until it sets, check after about 30 minutes. Once set, remove from oven, cool and sprinkle with white sugar before serving.
