Créme Caramelé

Written by Published on Updated on November 3, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hi!!  The heatwave is finally over, hoorayyyy but we have rain on and off during the day. 🙂  Our basset hound Charlie, who is now 1 year old,  was really having a rough time with the heat last week, as we all did but I did my best to keep him cool with those cool collars. If you have not tried them yet, please do they really work!!  He is now running around and enjoying his walks and playing with all the other little doggies…:)  

When it’s hot I like to make different sorts of desserts that are refrigerated instead of always going for Ice Cream. Not that I don’t love  Ice Cream!!! I’m just saying. 🙂 So, I made this very easy and enjoyable summer dessert called Cremé Caramelé. I do understand that it is not summer all over the world, but it will be at some point, so keep this dessert in mind as a cool off. 🙂  Buuuttt you can always make this dessert during the winter time, and enjoy eating it with a nice warm cup of Hot Chocolate or a nice big cup of Cappucino or whatever warm drink you enjoy.  🙂

CRÉME CARAMELÉ

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Cremé
  • 1 liter Milk
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 6 Eggs
  • 2 pieces of Lemon Peel
  • 2 small powdered Vanillas / 1 Vanilla stick
  • 4 Tin baking forms/ Silicone forms
  • 1 Baking Pan
  • Caramelé
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • In a small sauce pan on low heat, we add in all the ingredients for the Caramelé, we stir slowly until it turns into a golden brown color. When it’s done we pour the Caramelé into our tin or silicone baking pans and turn to cover all sides and set aside to cool off.
  • At the same time start to warm up the milk in another sauce pan, add in the lemon peel plus the vanillas. Whisk eggs with sugar in a separate bowl, once the milk has come to a boil start to slowly add into the egg mixture and continue to stir until it has all blended together nicely. Pour the mixture into your pans.
  • Take a large baking pan and add water, it should reach approximately half of the baking pan. Add your tin pans into the watered baking pan and bake for 50 minutes at 180 degrees. (keep on eye on the water in the pan this part is very crucial). After about 50 minutes, set aside for about an hour to cool off. Then place in the refrigerator overnight…and you can enjoy your lovely dessert the following day.
  • Tip: I add in the lemon peel, because I like to give the Cremé/Custard a bit of a taste to it.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
