The recipe means so much to me because it was my favourite dessert growing up as a child. My mother would make it for me every birthday. I think I loved the silken smooth texture, the subtle vanilla flavour along with the sweetness of the caramel. I also loved that you flipped it upside down to serve and everyone always thought that was pretty spectacular! - Natasha, c si bon

Ingredients

Crème
7 eggs
8 tablespoons caster sugar
1 Vanilla pod split and seeds removed
1.2 litres full cream milk
Caramel
12 tablespoons water
12 tablespoons sugar

Method

Melt sugar with water to create a golden caramel. Once it turns a golden brown, pour hot caramel into the base of the tin. Place the tin in the fridge to cool completely and crack.

Place eggs, sugar, vanilla and milk into a mixing bowl and whisk by hand until sugar has completely dissolved.

Once the tin is completely cooled pour ingredients onto the caramel. Cover with aluminium foil. Place in bain-marie in the oven at 140 degrees for 40 minutes or until the middle is firm. When you wobble the container the middle should be firm and only wiggle a little bit.

Serve and enjoy.
