Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk in the baking or international foods aisle of major supermarkets like Coles or Woolworths. Use standard large eggs from the dairy section. For the best result, use full-cream milk.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C for 10 minutes.
- Combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and milk in a blender; pulse for about 3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Prepare the caramel directly in a ring tin: add the sugar and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until it turns into a golden liquid caramel.
- Carefully swirl the caramel to coat the base and sides of the ring tin.
- Pour the blender mixture gently into the caramel-lined tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the surface is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before moving to the fridge.
- Chill for at least 4 hours—or ideally overnight—to ensure the texture firms up perfectly.
- To serve, run a thin knife around the edges and invert the tin onto a serving platter.
