Utensilios/Equipment/Ustentsiles

  • Blender or big bowl with a whisk
  • Can opener
  • Steamer
  • Mold
  • Aluminum foil
  • Refrigerator

Ingredientes/Ingredients/Ingrédients
 

  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla essence or the grains of a vanilla pod from Papantla evidently
  • Caramel dulce de leche, or cajeta (soft fudge) as you may wish

Preparación/To Prepare/Préparation
 

  • Mix the condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla with either the blender or just by using a bowl and a whisk.
  • In a medium-sized mold or in several individual molds (about 6) serve a base of caramel, dulce de leche, or cajeta depending on what you chose or had available. If you’d rather prepare a homemade caramel, this is possible, just put 4 tablespoons sugar per tablespoon of water in a small pot and let it melt to the desired color. However, pay close attention when you’re preparing caramel, since it can severely burn you in case of an accident, and this is very painful. Also, consider that burnt caramel becomes tart.
  • Pour the mixture in the mold(s) and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Steam-cook or put in the oven in a Bain Marie for about 45 minutes. To check if they are ready, use the tip of a knife or a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, then the custard(s) is/are ready.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes and then put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours for your dessert to be served cool.

Notas/Notes

If you decide to bake it in a Bain Marie, I suggest you use a maximum temperature of 160°C or 320°F. The baking time might increase from the 45 minutes, but the custard's texture will be silkier and without bubbles.
