I made creme caramel...

So, there is some cream inside the fridge and knowing me, I do not want to let it be wasted & end up in the garbage bag. Before its expired, I might as well do something about it. And I remember a program I saw on tv last week where the guy made creme caramel. Apa lagi..I pun buat la my creme caramel. The recipe memang sebiji cam creme brulee. The ending jer lain. 

Got the eggs, cream, milk, vanilla extract, sugar and pots out. First thing first, do the caramel. Now, nak buat caramel ni senang jer. Water plus sugar & heat on medium to high until you get a golden brown liquid. Remember to wash the side of the pot with water so the sugar wont crystalized bila dimasak. And please be careful as the caramel is damn hot. So, bila sugar mixture that sudah boiling and the color become golden brown…. 

distribute the caramel equally to all the ramekin. This recipe need at least 6 ramekin. You need to quickly pour the caramel onto the bottom of the ramekin because this mixture get harden very quickly, then it get very sticky. 

So, biarkan caramel tu dlm ramekin and prepare the custard (egg yolks, castor sugar & vanilla extract). 

Using hand mixer, mix the ingredients until you get a yellowish mixture cam ni..

Then masak the cream & milk together in a pot, and heat it over a medium heat until it simmered. 

Bila dah simmering, slowly add the cream mixture into the custard mixture & mix it together. One you dah add smua the cream mixture into the custard bowl, mix for a few minutes. Scrap the bubble …ni ha..nampak kan buih2 tu….

so scrap it using a spoon before pouring the mixture equally into each of the ramekin with the caramel at the bottom.

Heat the oven to 175C and place the ramekin inside a deep oven tray. Fill up 2/3 of the tray with water. Don't forget to cover each ramekin with aluminum foil before placing it inside the oven.

Baked for 35 minutes. Make sure no water go inside the creme caramel ok. Lepas 35 minutes, take out the tray from the oven & cool it off for 5-10 minutes. This is how it look like..ok..I used 2 shape..a round one & a love shape..

Then place the creme caramel inside the fridge for few hrs to chill before serving. When serving, just deep the bottom of the ramekin inside a hot water inside a plate. Run a sharp knife around the side of the ramekin. Take a plate and place it on top of the ramekin and turn it upside down. Shake it a little bit and there you goes..a perfect CREME CARAMEL FOR DESSERT!

Ni I show the love shape pasal the round one, dah masuk perut before I remember to take the picture. Hehhehe…
