It's a simple pudding made with eggs and fresh cream, but it also has a hint of citrus liqueur as a secret ingredient, giving it a refreshing taste.

Drizzling the caramel sauce that comes with it adds a slightly bitter flavor that's addictive.

The pudding itself has a soft and smooth texture, similar to silken tofu.

It's the perfect size, so you can eat it all in one go, even after a meal.
