Where to find ingredients
Find these pantry staples at any local Bajan supermarket or neighborhood shop. If you cannot find traditional Brazilian-style bread rolls, any crusty white bread that has gone slightly stale works well as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Prepare the caramel by melting the 2 tablespoons of sugar directly in a large ring-shaped mold.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the mold with the caramel.
- Slice the bread rolls into pieces roughly 2 cm thick.
- Arrange the bread slices neatly at the bottom of the caramel-lined mold.
- Blitz the milk, eggs, and the 2 cups of sugar in a blender until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
- Stir the lemon zest into the liquid mixture.
- Pour the custard over the bread in the mold.
- Bake in a preheated oven using a bain-marie setup for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before carefully turning it out.
Observations
This recipe works magic on basic pantry ingredients to produce a velvety, indulgent dessert. The secret lies in letting the bread fully soak up the custard before sliding it into the oven.
