Delicious Creme Caramel dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar (for the caramel)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and turns a golden caramel color. Quickly pour the caramel into a flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Allow it to harden while you prepare the custard.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the mold(s). Place the mold in a baking pan filled with hot water, creating a water bath (this helps cook the custard evenly).
  5. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set. You can test by inserting a knife in the middle, it should come out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the custard, then flip it upside down onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the top—delicious!

And there you have it! A delectable caramel treat that’s not just a dessert, but an experience. Gather your loved ones, dish up some of this fantastic Creme Caramel, and don’t forget to share the love. Enjoy!
