Caramel Custard

Cultural Context

Caramel custard, known as Crème Caramel in France, has roots that trace back to ancient Roman times. This elegant dessert is a staple in French cuisine, often served in restaurants and at family gatherings. Its smooth texture and rich flavor make it a beloved treat across many cultures, with variations found in Latin America and Asia, where it's known simply as flan.

1

Grease a metal pan with oil and set aside.

2

For the caramel, heat the sugar and water together until it dissolves and turns into a deep golden color.

3

Transfer it to the greased pan. Swirl the pan so that the bottom is evenly coated. Set aside to let it solidify.

4

In a saucepan, heat milk and sugar. It should become hot but should not boil.

5

In another large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk a little at a time while whisking continuously. Optionally, you can add vanilla essence.

6

Strain the mixture through a fine strainer. Pour it on the solidified caramel.

7

Cover it with a lid or aluminum foil. Place it in a steamer or a pot with adequate water and a metal stand on the bottom.

8

Steam for 25 minutes on medium heat. Check if it is done by pressing it gently with your fingers. It should bounce back lightly.

9

Remove the pan from the steamer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or for longer.

10

To serve, flip the custard pudding onto a plate.
