This elegant treat is a perfect way to end any meal and is surprisingly simple to make at home. With just a handful of ingredients, you can create a delightful dessert that will impress your family and friends.
- Be mindful when caramelizing the sugar to avoid burning it. The sugar should turn a deep amber color, but not too dark as it can become bitter.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the caramel-lined ramekins. This helps ensure a smooth, silky texture.
- Bake the custard in a water bath (bain-marie) to maintain a gentle and even cooking temperature, preventing the custard from cracking or curdling.
- Let the crème caramel cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This lets the flavors meld and makes for easier unmolding.
Classic crème caramel is a timeless dessert that offers a luscious, velvety texture and a delightful caramel flavor. By following these simple tips and steps, you can create a sophisticated and delectable treat that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy the process of making this elegant dessert and savor every spoonful of its deliciousness.
