With its smooth custard and sweet caramel sauce, this classic French dessert is sure to impress your friends and family. So, let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Step 1: Prepare the Caramel

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small saucepan, melt ¾ cup of sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden caramel. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning. Remove from heat and carefully pour the caramel into a round baking dish, spreading it evenly on the bottom.

Step 2: Prepare the Custard

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining ¼ cup of sugar until well combined. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the baking dish. To prevent air bubbles, gently tap the dish on the countertop. Place the dish in a larger baking pan and create a water bath by adding hot water to the larger pan, making sure it reaches about halfway up the sides of the dish.

Carefully transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center of the custard is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Once cooled, cover the custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results. When ready to serve, run a knife along the edges of the dish to loosen the custard. Place a serving plate upside down on top of the dish, and quickly flip it over to release the crème caramel onto the plate.

Voila! Your homemade crème caramel is now ready to be enjoyed. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a drizzle of caramel sauce, and savor every creamy spoonful. It’s a dessert that never fails to delight!

We hope you found this step-by-step guide helpful in mastering the art of making the perfect crème caramel. Now it’s your turn to try it out and impress your loved ones with this divine dessert. Bon appétit!
