A custard-like dessert.
Ready in: 1 hour

Ingredients

Serves: 11

• 2 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 4 egg yolks, beaten

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 30 mins

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 1/2 cups sugar until golden. Carefully pour hot sugar evenly into four oven-proof ramekins or custard cups, tilting cups to coat bottoms evenly, then let cool.
3. Pour the milk and cream in a sauce pan and add the sugar to it. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring off and on. Once steam is present and all sugar is dissolved take it off the heat.
4. Temper yolks and whole eggs by stirring the hot milk, a little at a time, into the beaten eggs and egg yolks, until well combined. Pour the custard mix over the caramelized sugar in the ramekins.
5. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place ramekins on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in the water bath for about 30 minutes. Use a knife or toothpick to check to see if done.
6. When done let cool or take a knife and go around the edges and then flip upside down on the plate and enjoy.
