Preparation

1. 1.
   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. 2.
   In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a golden caramel color.
3. 3.
   Pour the caramel into a round baking dish, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly.
4. 4.
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs until well combined.
5. 5.
   Pour the mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
6. 6.
   Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
7. 7.
   Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and slightly jiggles in the center.
8. 8.
   Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
9. 9.
   Once cooled, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pudding to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top of the baking dish and invert it to release the pudding. The caramel sauce will flow over the top, creating a beautiful glaze.
