Ingredients:

  • 10 eggs
  • 1 (14 oz) can condensed milk
  • 1 (12 fl oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Directions:

  1. Custard: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your pans/moulds.
  2. Beat the eggs with an electric mixer. Set aside until the big bubbles or most of the bubbles disappear.
  3. Add all the other custard ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk by hand in a single direction until sugar is dissolved. (It is imperative to not have bubbles or the custard will cook with a cakey texture.).
  4. Strain the mixture in a mesh strainer onto another bowl to get the lumpy egg whites. (to have a smooth and creamy texture) Set aside.
  5. Custard: Melt sugar in an iron pan over high heat. When most of the sugar is burnt (dark golden brown in color) add 1 cup of water. Keep stirring until all of the sugar is dissolve. By this time sugar will be slightly bitter and have a brittle consistency. Add 1/2 cup water and simmer for about 1 minute.
  6. Immediately pour the custard into the pans, dividing evenly. Pour the custard mixture over the caramel. (about 1 inch thick max or the center wont cook evenly with the sides.) Cover with aluminum foil.
  7. Place the mould in a large cookie sheet with about an inch of water. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes depending on your pan size. (add about a 1/2 - 1 cup of water every 20 minutes) Insert a toothpick to check if the custard is cooked. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is cooked. (or when center is firm, i prefer the toothpick method).
  8. Cool and then chill before serving. Run a knife around the mould to let the custard loose and flip over a dish to serve.
