- Pulse or blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
- Pour the custard base into the prepared caramelized mold.
- Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place the mold in a bain-marie and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 1 hour, or until the custard is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before transferring it to the refrigerator.
- Once thoroughly chilled, carefully invert the custard onto a serving plate.
- Serve well-chilled.
