Description
Vanilla pods can be replaced with vanilla sugar or vanilla extract if necessary, but the dessert will lose some flavor. You can choose the liqueur to your taste — I used both 'Amaretto' and 'Crema Catalana', or you can skip it altogether, replacing it with warm water.
Ingredients
- Milk - 10 fl oz
- Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
- Egg white - 3 pieces
- 10% cream - 3 fl oz
- Sugar - 4 tablespoons
- Water - 2 tablespoons
- Amaretto Liqueur - 2 tablespoons
- Butter - 0.5 oz
- Vanilla Pod - 2 pieces
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Whisk the eggs and yolks until fluffy and homogeneous.
Step 2
Add sugar to the milk and include the vanilla pods and seeds (or vanilla sugar) and heat until dissolved (but do not bring to a boil: this will prevent the eggs from curdling).
Step 3
Gradually pour the milk into the egg mixture while continuously whisking.
Step 4
Prepare the caramel: melt the sugar in a saucepan, stirring constantly, until it reaches a deep caramel color. Add warm water, butter, and liqueur, mix well, and bring to a thick consistency.
Step 5
Pour and distribute the caramel into portioned molds (muffin/cupcake/rum baba molds work great). Pour the egg-milk mixture over it.
Step 6
Cook in a water bath in a preheated oven at 392°F for 1 hour.
