Learn to make the caramel sauce
It's alright if this is your first time trying your hands at caramel sauce. Let us tell you that the process is super easy so you don't have to worry at all.
To make the wet caramel sauce, add some water in proportion to the sugar in the pan. On the other hand, dry caramel sauce is prepared only with sugar. The former is easier to make than the latter as you do not have to be worried about burning the mixture.
In the case of dry caramel sauce, you need to allow the sugar crystals to melt at high temperature and when the crystals on the edges start to do so, you can swirl the grains but never stir.
Once the caramel sauce is prepared, you can coat the bottom of the molding pan with caramel sauce. This way the entire surface of the custard is covered in caramel sauce and also it gets easier to remove the caramel custard from the mold.
Start with the milk and then add the flavoring agents to it. The milk must be heated during this time. Once done, allow the milk to cool down and then blend well with eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Always bake a custard in the water bath because this is the only way to do it.
Once done, leave it in the refrigerator to chill for a few hours. After this, whenever you are in the mood for something cold, soft, and sweet, take them out of the mold and binge away. Here are some other Asian dessert recipes for you to see.
