Crème Caramel
This luscious dessert combines a caramelized sugar topping with a smooth custard base. It’s a dessert that impresses with every bite!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the sugar until it transforms into a golden caramel. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. Once melted, quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of your ramekins, swirling to coat the base evenly. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and frothy.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cooled caramel in the ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Arrange the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin, place a plate over it, and flip to release the dessert. Enjoy your homemade crème caramel!
