Creme caramel is a creamy, silky custard dessert  with a perfect  caramel sauce

Ingredients

Prepare ingredients for making the creme caramel: eggs, cream, vanilla, sugar.

Make the caramel

Use white granulated sugar or superfine sugar, and heat it over medium heat with a small quantity of water.

Swirl

As it starts melting and transforms into a brown color, gently swirl the pan.

Color

Remove the pan from the stove when it is a deep golden amber caramel.

Pour into jars

Once your caramel reaches the desired color, swiftly pour and swirl it inside your jars.

Make the custard creme

Heat milk, cream and vanilla to infuse the custard.

Add sugar and eggs

Next, whisk sugar, eggs and egg yolks with the cream mixture to make a custard base.

Cook

Pour the custard into the caramel-coated jars, dividing it evenly. Cook the cremes sous vide or in a steam oven for 1 hour, then remove and chill.

Once the cremes have been chilled overnight to soften the caramel into a liquid sauce, turn out and serve. Yum!
