RECIPE
Caramel Custard
Delicious caramel custard pudding/creme caramel with just 4 simple ingredients! Easy and simple, perfect for snacks, desserts and parties!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
Custard
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk see notes
- 1/2 cup sugar
Caramel sauce
- 6 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
Caramel sauce
- In a sauce pan, add water and sugar for the caramel sauce. Mix well so the sugar dissolves.
- Turn the heat on medium and heat up the mixture occasionally stirring. Once the sauce starts bubbling, turn off the heat after 15 seconds.
- Immediately pour the sauce into heat safe bowls or ramekins.
- Set aside for it to cool.
Pudding
- Break the eggs in a bowl and beat it lightly.
- Add sugar and whisk lightly until sugar dissolves.
- Heat up the evaporated milk in the microwave for 30 secs and gradually pour it into the bowl while whisking.
- Keep whisking until everything is mixed well but careful not to make the mixture foamy.
- Using a sieve, sieve the egg mixture into the different heat safe bowls/ramekins and cover with foil.
- Heat up your pot/steamer and once the water boils, add the caramel pudding bowls and cover the pot with a lid. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
- Once the time is up, turn off the heat and let it stand for another 5 minutes. The custard should be firm to touch. Let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour.
- To serve, run a blade around the sides and take a serving plate to cover the bowls/ramekins. Flip it over. Tap the bowl a few times and remove it slowly. Enjoy!
Notes
*The evaporated milk should be warm and not hot so it won’t cook the eggs. *I used brown sugar, white sugar will work too. *Don’t cook the sauce for too long or the sugar will burn.
