Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in the baking or dairy aisles. For the best result, use high-quality full-fat condensed milk. If you cannot find a fluted tube pan, a standard round cake tin will work, though it will change the classic shape.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, condensed milk, and whole milk. Blend for about 3 minutes until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
- Prepare the caramel directly in a fluted tube pan. Add the sugar and place the pan over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar melts into a deep golden caramel.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the pan with the caramel sauce.
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared, caramel-coated pan.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature before placing it in the fridge.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, though overnight is ideal, to ensure the custard sets firmly.
- To unmold, gently run a knife around the edges and invert the pan onto a serving plate.
