Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and standard pantry staples at any local grocery store or neighborhood bodega in Belize. If you are unable to find the specific brand, any quality sweetened condensed milk will yield the desired consistency for this custard.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and milk; process for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is perfectly smooth and well-combined.
- In a ring mold or fluted tube pan, prepare the caramel. Add the sugar directly to the pan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until it melts into a golden amber syrup.
- Carefully coat the bottom and inner sides of the mold with the prepared caramel syrup.
- Pour the custard mixture from the blender into the prepared caramel-coated mold.
- Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the surface is set and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the custard to cool down completely before transferring to the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure the texture is firm and set.
- To unmold, gently run a knife around the edges and invert the mold onto a serving plate.
