Oita's Hell Steamed Pudding | Famous Beppu Dessert
Hell Steamed Puddings are unique custard puddings sold in Beppu, Oita. The puddings are made from typical ingredients like milk, eggs, sugar and fresh cream, but are cooked using the volcanic steam from Oita's famous hot springs. While many wonder why the puddings calledHell Steamedat first, the scary name is inspired from Beppu's famous eight
hot-spring Hellponds. Using the steam from these special hot-springs, the locals are able to create a deliciously sweet pudding known as
Jigoku Purinor Hell-Steamed Puddings.
