Where to find ingredients
You can find shelf-stable condensed milk, eggs, and milk at local grocery stores or general merchants across Kiribati. If specific baking ingredients are limited, ensure your eggs are fresh and your milk is at room temperature before starting.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for at least 10 minutes.
- Combine the eggs, condensed milk, and whole milk in a blender. Process for approximately 3 minutes until the batter is perfectly smooth and airy.
- Prepare the syrup directly in a ring-shaped cake pan by adding the sugar and heating over a low flame, stirring occasionally until it transforms into a golden amber caramel.
- Carefully rotate the pan to coat the bottom and inner sides thoroughly with the caramel.
- Pour the prepared custard mixture evenly into the caramelized pan.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard feels set to the touch.
- Remove from the heat and allow the custard to cool completely to room temperature before moving to the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 4 hours—or ideally overnight—to ensure the texture firms up into that signature silken consistency.
- To serve, gently run a knife around the edges and invert the pan onto a serving platter.
