minutesIngredients
5 Medium Eggs
1 Cup Heavy cream
1 Can Evaporated milk
1 Can Condensed milk
1 Tsp Vanilla extract
1 Cup Sugar
Directions
- In a bowl add 1 can evaporated milk, 5 eggs, 1 can condensed milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Mix together and add the custard to a blender. Pulse it on high a few times until nice a smooth. At this point add 1 cup heavy cream and pulse on high only once.
- Now strain the custard thru a mesh strainer into another bowl. This process will eliminate any egg bits that didn’t combine in the custard and you will have a smooth custard after baking. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet on high, to this add 1 cup sugar and caramelize until it turns dark amber color.
- Now carefully add the caramel to the bottom of a baking pan and swirl around to coat the base evenly.
- Once the sugar has cooled down and set, slowly pour the custard on top. Tap a few times to ensure there are no air bubbles.
- Bake the custard at 300 F degree for 40 mins or until the center is set to touch in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool. Refrigerate for atleast 6 hours or overnight before serving.
- Enjoy!!
