Creme caramel belongs on the short list for 'World's Greatest Dessert.' The way the almost-burnt caramel layer gets fused on, and becomes one with, the creamy custard is nothing short of magic.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
½ cup (scant) white sugar
1 large egg
3 large egg yolks
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup creme fraiche
½ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon orange cognac (such as Grand Marnier®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray 4 heatproof 6.5-oz. ramekins with vegetable spray. Place ramekins in a casserole dish.
  • Place 1/2 cup sugar in a small, heavy, dry skillet over medium heat. When sugar begins to melt around the edges, gently shake the pan continually, swirling sugar around, until all the sugar melts; don't use utensils to stir. When sugar is completely melted and dark brown, remove the pan from heat.
  • Quickly pour equal amounts of caramel syrup into the 4 prepared ramekins.
  • Place 1 egg and 3 egg yolks in a bowl with a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture becomes frothy, about 1 minute.
  • Spoon the creme fraiche into the egg mixture; add the milk, vanilla, and Grand Marnier. Whisk together until ingredients are completely mixed.
  • Ladle mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  • Fill casserole with hot tap water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Place casserole on middle rack of preheated oven.
  • Bake until just barely set, 45 to 50 minutes. You can start checking for doneness at about 40 minutes.
  • Using tongs, remove the ramekins from the casserole to a cooling rack. When just slightly warm, run a sharp paring knife around the edge of each custard.
  • To unmold, cover ramekin with a small plate, then invert. Chill before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes two 4-cup desserts.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 cups milk
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
6 large eggs
6 large egg yolks

Steps:

SALTED CARAMEL CUSTARD



Salted Caramel Custard image

These easy 'pots de crèmes' are just sweet enough, just salty enough, and just drop-dead gorgeous enough to be my favorite dessert.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Desserts     Custards and Pudding Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 large egg yolks
⅔ cup white sugar
2 cups heavy cream
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon®), to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place 6 (6.5 ounce) ramekins in a baking dish.
  • Place sugar evenly in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Without stirring, allow sugar to slowly melt around the edges of the pan, about 5 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary. When edges start to bubble, shake and swirl pan to dissolve remaining sugar but without stirring it. Keep pan moving until you have a clear, dark caramel, about 10 minutes. When sugar is completely dissolved, whisk in cream; caramel will cool into a lump; this is normal. Keep stirring over medium heat until caramel melts and mixture comes up to temperature and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat
  • Stir in kosher salt, vanilla, and cold milk; mix well.
  • Place egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in a ladleful of caramel/milk mixture to the yolks. Add 2 more ladlefuls, one at a time. Then mix in the remainder of the caramel/milk mixture to the yolks, whisking until thoroughly blended.
  • Divide custard mixture evenly among the ramekins. Carefully pour into the baking dish enough water so that it comes halfway up the sides of the filled ramekins.
  • Bake in preheated oven until custard is set and the top of custard jiggles evenly across the surface, 45 to 60 minutes (depending on the size of your ramekins and how full they are). If the center seems looser than the edges, continue to bake another minute or so.
  • Transfer ramekins to a cooling rack; cool to room temperature. Cover ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour until they are very cold.
  • Serve topped with a pinch of light, flaky sea salt.

Tips for Making the Best Creamy Caramel Custard:

- **Use fresh, high-quality ingredients.** This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your custard. - **Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before you start.** This will help them mix more evenly with the other ingredients. - **Don't overcook the custard.** The custard is done when it is just set and still a little wobbly in the center. If you overcook it, it will become tough and rubbery. - **Let the custard cool completely before serving.** This will give it time to firm up and develop its full flavor. - **Serve the custard with your favorite toppings.** Some popular options include fresh berries, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. ###

In Conclusion:

Creamy caramel custard is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. - By following these tips, you can make sure that your custard turns out perfectly every time. - So next time you're looking for a delicious and elegant dessert, give creamy caramel custard a try.
