Creme caramel is a classic dessert that combines the richness of caramel with a smooth, creamy custard. This lean version uses light sour cream and 1% milk to keep it lower in fat without sacrificing flavor. It’s a delicious treat that is perfect for ending any meal on a sweet note.
- When making the caramel, be sure to watch it closely as it can go from perfect to burnt very quickly. Use a heavy-bottomed pan for even heat distribution.
- To ensure a smooth custard, make sure to whisk the eggs and other ingredients thoroughly. You can also strain the mixture through a fine sieve before pouring it into the caramel-coated molds.
- Bake the creme caramel in a water bath (bain-marie) to prevent cracking and to ensure even baking. Place the filled molds in a larger baking dish and pour hot water around them until it reaches halfway up the sides of the molds.
- Let the creme caramel cool at room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- To unmold the creme caramel, run a knife around the edge of each mold and invert onto a plate. If the caramel sticks, dipping the bottom of the mold briefly in hot water can help release it.
This lean creme caramel is a delightful, lighter take on a beloved classic. With its smooth texture and rich caramel flavor, it’s sure to impress your family and guests. Enjoy this guilt-free indulgence!
