Homemade caramel custard
milk$0.30
8 eggs$2.79
150 g of sugar$0.17
Orange and lemon skin$0.21
We add approximately 5 tablespoons of sugar to the container.$0.09
The milk is poured into a container with a capacity of two litres.$0.30
The device is placed on the stove until it begins to boil, after which the milk is allowed to cool to a lukewarm temperature.$0.30
Next, crack the eggs into a separate container, making sure to separate the yolks from the whites. Then, add only the egg yolks to the milk after adding the sugar and mixing thoroughly. Finally, carefully mix the mixture with the milk.$0.97
Next, the orange and lemon pulp is added to the mixture, and the resulting mixture is then filtered.$0.21
The caramel is placed in the specially designed metal mold for making caramel, using a spoon to distribute approximately one tablespoon of caramel into each mold. It is important that the caramel has a thick consistency so that it does not mix with the milk.$2.45
Once the milk has been poured into the mold, it is placed in an oven-safe dish. Hot water is added to the center of the dish, and then the entire dish is baked at a moderate temperature until it is ready.$2.45
We assess ripeness by cutting into the tomato. If it separates easily, this indicates that it is ripe. We then carefully remove the flesh and allow it to cool before storing it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.$1.02
