Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Milk
- 100 g Sugar (for caramel)
- 50 g Sugar (for custard)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare four small heatproof ramekins.
In a small saucepan, combine 100g sugar and 2 tablespoons of water to make the caramel. Heat over medium heat without stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns into a golden caramel color (approximately 5-7 minutes).
Quickly pour the caramel into the bottoms of the ramekins, swirling each dish to coat the bottom evenly. Allow the caramel to set for a few minutes.
In another saucepan, heat 500ml of milk over medium heat until just warm. Do not let it boil.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 50g sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps and achieve a silky texture.
Pour the strained custard mixture evenly into the ramekins over the set caramel.
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and carefully add hot water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath for gentle cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 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, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the pudding. Invert onto a serving plate and let the caramel sauce flow over the custard. Enjoy!
