Crème caramel

Wednesday, 21 September 2022 / Topics:

  • Serves 4
  • Difficulty simple

Ingredients: (Serves 4)

½ cup caster sugar, and ⅓ cup extra
200ml milk
200ml cream
1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract
3 egg yolks
1 egg

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

2. Combine ½ cup sugar and 1 cup cold water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to high. Boil, without stirring, for 5-7 minutes or until golden. Remove from heat and allow bubbles to subside. Pour caramel into four ½-cup capacity ovenproof ramekins. Set aside to allow caramel to set.

3. Meanwhile, combine milk, cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Warm over medium heat until cream mixture just begins to boil, then remove from the heat. Whisk egg yolks, whole egg and remaining ⅓ cup sugar together in a large bowl. While whisking, gradually pour in the warm cream mixture. Divide mixture between ramekins.

4. Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and add enough water to come halfway up the side of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until just set. Remove ramekins from the water bath and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until completely chilled.

5. To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin and turn out onto plates.
