In a pot, combine 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water and mix well.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium to low heat for about 5 to 6 minutes until it turns a beautiful caramel color.

Pour the caramel into the pan, swirling it around to coat the bottom, and let it sit to harden.

In a bowl, beat 2 eggs until well mixed.

Add 1 teaspoon of mixed essence (or vanilla extract) to the eggs and whisk well.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the egg mixture, adjusting to your sweetness preference, and whisk until combined.

Pour in the evaporated milk and whisk until smooth, ensuring no clumps remain.

Strain the mixture to remove any lumps.

Pour the custard mixture into the pan over the hardened caramel.

Cover the pan tightly with foil.

Steam the custard in a pan with water for 35 to 40 minutes.

Check if the custard is ready by shaking the pan; it should jiggle slightly, or insert a wooden skewer to check for doneness.

Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

Run a spatula or knife around the edges and flip it onto a plate.
