Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets such as Carrefour or Naivas. Ensure you use high-quality sweetened condensed milk found in the baking aisle. If you prefer, a vanilla pod or a drop of vanilla extract can be used as an optional flavor enhancer.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C for 10 minutes.
- In a blender, process the eggs, condensed milk, and whole milk for about 3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
- In a ring-shaped cake tin, prepare the caramel. Add the sugar to the tin and place it over low heat, stirring occasionally until it melts into a golden caramel.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the tin with the prepared caramel.
- Pour the blender mixture into the caramel-lined tin.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before placing it in the fridge.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to ensure the custard sets perfectly.
- To unmold, run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the tin onto a serving plate.
