Servings 10 -12

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup 150 g white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup 60 ml water
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk (you can also use whole milk)
  • 1 cup 240 ml heavy cream (whipping cream or half and half work really well)
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat your oven at 350ºF (180ºC).
  • In a medium saucepan cook sugar and water on medium high heat until they turn a caramel color. This can take about 10 minutes, keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
  • Quickly pour the caramel into a 2.5 liter baking dish and tilt it from side to side so that it's evenly coated. Set aside. A glass or ceramic baking dish work best.
  • Add the eggs, evaporated milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the custard mixture into the baking dish and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a knife or skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the custard cool completely on a wire rack, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Uncover the custard and run a knife around the edge of the baking dish. Place a large serving plate on top, invert it, give the baking dish a little shake and gently lift it to remove. Serve immediately.
