Ingredients
3 eggs
1 tin condensed milk
1 tin milk (use the empty condensed milk tin as a measure)
3 tablespoons sugar (for the caramel syrup)
1 tin condensed milk
1 tin milk (use the empty condensed milk tin as a measure)
3 tablespoons sugar (for the caramel syrup)
Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk and eggs at any local supermarket or neighborhood provision store. For the best results, use full-fat milk available in the dairy aisle. If you prefer a different texture, you may substitute standard white sugar with superfine or caster sugar for a smoother caramel, though standard sugar works perfectly well.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C for 10 minutes.
- In a blender, process the eggs, condensed milk, and milk for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
- In a ring-shaped cake tin, prepare the caramel. Place the sugar in the tin and heat over low flame, stirring occasionally until it melts into a golden caramel.
- Carefully coat the interior sides and bottom of the tin with the caramel.
- Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-lined tin.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down completely before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure it sets firmly.
- To unmold, run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the tin onto a serving plate.
