Critical Success Points

  • Caramel must reach a deep amber color without burning
  • Temper the hot milk mixture into the eggs slowly to avoid curdling
  • Bake in a water bath to ensure even gentle cooking
  • Cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation on the caramel

Safety Warnings

  • Caramel is extremely hot; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • The water bath and hot ramekins are heavy and can slip; use wrapped tongs.
  • Do not over‑bake; over‑cooked custard becomes rubbery.
