INGREDIENTS
For the custard:
3 large eggs
2 cups (480 ml) of milk
1/4 cup (50g) of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the caramel topping:
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (120g) of sugar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) of water
PREPARATION :
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
2. Prepare the caramel: In a saucepan, cook the sugar and water over medium heat until it turns a dark golden brown. Divide the caramel among 4 ramekins. Set aside.
3. Prepare the custard: In a small saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Heat the milk until the sugar is dissolved; do not boil.
4. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the hot milk, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture.
5. Pour the pastry cream into the prepared ramekins, place the ramekins in a large roasting dish (water bath). Carefully add boiling water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
6. Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
7. Before serving, run a knife around the ramekins, turn them upside down and serve cold.
Remarks:
Instead of 4 ramekins, you can use an 18cm round cake tin.
