What you need

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Camel Milk
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (for custard)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (for caramel)
  • 2 tbsp Water

Method

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Combine 3/4 cup sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a deep amber caramel. Immediately pour into the bottom of four ramekins.
  2. Warm the camel milk gently in a saucepan, without boiling.
  3. Whisk the eggs, remaining sugar, and vanilla together, then slowly whisk in the warm camel milk.
  4. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into the caramel-lined ramekins.
  5. Place the ramekins in a water bath and bake for 35-40 minutes until just set with a slight jiggle in the center. Chill for at least 4 hours before inverting onto plates to serve.
