Easy Creme Caramel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place eight 4-ounce ramekins in a large roasting pan. Add 4 tablespoons water to a small pot. Add 1 cup sugar and stir to dissolve. Cook over medium-high, swirling occasionally, until caramel begins to turn amber, 6 to 8 minutes. Working quickly, divide caramel between ramekins, swirling ramekins to coat bottoms evenly, set aside.
• In a medium pot, heat milk over medium until hot, but not boiling. In a medium bowl whisk together whole eggs and yolks, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. While whisking, ladle some milk into the egg mixture. Whisk in remaining milk, one ladle at a time. Strain through a fine sieve into a large liquid measuring cup, and stir in vanilla. Divide custard evenly among ramekins.
• Transfer roasting pan to oven. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until custards are just set, about 35 minutes.
• With tongs, remove ramekins from hot water and let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours (or up to 3 days). To unmold, run a sharp knife around inside of each ramekins and invert onto a serving plate, gently shaking to release.

Steps:

• Bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla extract.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepot over low heat. Let the sugar dissolve. Carefully brush the walls of the pot with a little water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing on the sides. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the syrup turns golden brown. Remove from the heat promptly and carefully divide the hot caramel among the 6 ramekins. Let cool for at least 2 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and cream to just below a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix together the egg yolks, caster sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Place the mixing bowl on top of a towel to keep it from wobbling while whisking in the hot liquid. Gently whisk 2 tablespoons of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Slowly whisk in the remaining hot milk mixture 1/3 at a time, trying to prevent excess bubbles. Strain though a sieve.
• Place 6 ramekins evenly spaced in a paper towel-lined baking dish to prevent the ramekins from sliding. Pour 6 ounces into each caramel-coated ramekin. Place on the extended middle rack of the oven. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking dish until 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins. (Be careful not to get any water on the custard mixture.) Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and very gently slide it towards the center of the rack. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the custards are almost fully set. Remove from the oven. Use tongs to remove the ramekins from the hot water bath. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then refrigerate until well chilled.
• To serve, dip the ramekin in very hot water for 15 to 20 seconds. Run a sharp knife around the sides of the ramekin. Invert the custards onto serving plates. The caramel will pool around the inverted custards. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F.
• In a medium skillet, combine 1/2 cup of sugar with the water and cook over high heat until deep a deep amber color (about 4 min), swirling the pan occasionally.
• Immediately pour the caramel into an 8-by-4 1/2-by-3in metal loaf pan.
• Make sure you evenly coat the bottom.
• Let caramel harden.
• In a bowl, whisk the remaining (1/2 c.) of sugar, the milk, cream, eggs, and egg yolks.
• Pour custard into the pan with hardened caramel.
• Set this pan in a small baking dish and add enough water in baking dish to reach halfway up the side of the pan.
• Bake for 50 min (or until set around the edges but slightly soft in center).
• Remove pan of custard from baking dish and let cool to room temperature.
• Refrigerate until chilled (at least 4 hours).
• Remove from pan by running a thin knife around the custard and flipping it onto a plate.
• Cut into slices and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. For caramel, combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Be sure all sugar granules are washed down from pot sides. Cook over moderate heat, swirling pan occasionally, until color is golden brown and mixture smells like caramel. Often you need to cook it a bit darker than you would imagine. This should take 10 to 15 minutes. Pour enough caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan to coat bottom and sides. Swirl to coat and reserve. Add remaining water to caramel in saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Occasionally stir and brush down sides with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. This process prevents crystallization of the sugar. Set this caramel sauce aside at room temperature, then chill until serving time.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 140C and boil a full kettle.
• Put everything in the blender APART from the cup of sugar.
• Blend until completely smooth and let it settle.
• Now melt the sugar over a low/medium heat in a dry frying pan. Be careful it doesn't burn and only stir once it has started to turn light brown and syrupy.
• Working quickly, pour the caramel into a 2 pint ceramic dish and swirl around to cover the bottom, be careful as melted sugar can give nasty burns.
• With a spoon, give the mixture in the blender a stir to try and get any air bubbles out and pour over the caramel mixture.
• Place dish in a roasting tin and pour boiling water to come half way up the sides of the creme caramel dish.
• Bake gently for 30 - 40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Once cooled, refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours in a cold fridge.
• To serve, carefully run a knife around the edges, place a large serving platter or plate on top and turn upside down. It should just come out without too much hassle and you'll notice the caramel has doubled in volume.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Brown sugar in a saucepan till a medium dark golden brown, but not burnt and then QUICKLY transfer to the bottom of a pie plate(you may add a few tablespoons of water to help it melt).
• In a large bowl beat the eggs and then add the 2 cans of milk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
• Pour mixture into pie plate.
• Using a larger pan that the pie plate will fit in, fill half way with the boiling water, place in oven, and then place pie plate in the middle of the large pan.
• Bake for approximately 45 - 55 minutes. The center should be soft and firm but not liquidly.
• Let cool and then after running a knife around the edge to seperate, flip over onto a serving dish.
