CRÈME CARAMEL

Crème caramel A custard dessert  —  a.k.a. crème renversée  —  that is made with hot milk, eggs and sugar mixed together and flavoured with vanilla. The custard mixture is poured in a caramel-coated mould and cooked in gentle oven in a water bath until set.

Crème caramel is then chilled thoroughly and unmoulded, the caramel forming a delicious sauce and coating on top of the custard. Crème caramel may also be baked in small ramekins, petits pots de crème, and flavoured with chocolate, coffee, fruit, spices, etc.
