Caramel Custard

I have been using store bought custard powder to make caramel custard. Thought of making at home and it was perfect.



Ingredients (Serving 2)

Large Eggs - 2
Yolk - 1
Vanilla Essence - 1 teaspoon
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup

To make Caramel

Sugar - 1/2 cup

Heat a heavy skillet and add the sugar. Let it caramelize till it becomes brown. Pour it immediately in a mould or a ramekin. Set aside.

Beat the eggs and the yolks. Add the sugar and beat till its dissolved. Add the vanilla essence and beat for few mins. Heat the milk. Heat it, do not boil it. Pour the milk in the egg mixture and stir it. Then pour the mixture in the mould.



There are two ways to cook it.

1.Oven - Place the moulds in a water bath and cook in a oven at 350 degree for 10 mins - 15 mins.

2. Stove top - Cover the mould with aluminium foil and steam it in the pressure cooker for 10 - 12 mins.

After its done, refrigerate for more than an hour. Insert a knife along the sides of the mould and invert it in the serving plate.
