What is Creme Caramel?
Crème Caramel is a French baked custard made with milk, eggs and sugar, with caramel poured into the mould before the custard mixture. It is usually cooked gently in a water bath, chilled, then turned out so the glossy caramel coats the top and runs onto the plate.
Its texture is smooth and tender, with a mild, milky flavour balanced by the deeper sweetness of caramel. In France it is served cold as a dessert after a meal; elsewhere, including in English-speaking countries, it is also a familiar restaurant or home-made pudding, often enjoyed on its own or with coffee. It provides carbohydrates mainly from the sugar, alongside some protein from the milk and eggs. For a lighter finish, choose a modest portion and skip extra cream.

Frequently Asked Questions About Creme Caramel
What is creme caramel made of?
Creme caramel is a baked custard made with milk, eggs and sugar, topped with a soft caramel sauce. The sugar is first cooked into caramel in the mold, then the custard is poured over it and gently baked.
What is the difference between creme caramel and crème brûlée?
Creme caramel is turned out of its mold so its liquid caramel sauce coats the custard. Crème brûlée is served in its dish and topped with a crisp layer of sugar caramelized just before serving.
Why does creme caramel have bubbles or holes?
Bubbles and holes usually mean the custard was overbeaten or baked too hot. Mix the eggs gently rather than whipping in air, skim foam from the surface, and bake the molds in a water bath for more even heat.
How do you make creme caramel without an oven?
Yes, creme caramel can be steamed on the stovetop if you do not have an oven. Cover the filled molds, set them in a covered pot with hot water below the rims, and keep the water at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil.
How do you get creme caramel out of the mold?
Chill creme caramel thoroughly before unmolding so the custard holds its shape. Loosen the edge with a thin knife, briefly dip the base of the mold in warm water, then invert it onto a plate and let the caramel run over the top.
Why is the caramel in creme caramel bitter?
The caramel tastes bitter when the sugar is cooked past deep amber and begins to burn. Take it off the heat as soon as it reaches a golden-amber color, since the hot pan continues cooking it for a short time.
How long does creme caramel keep in the fridge?
Creme caramel keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when covered. Keep it chilled because it contains milk and eggs, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
Can you freeze creme caramel?
Freezing creme caramel is not recommended. Thawing can make the custard grainy or watery and cause the caramel sauce to separate, so refrigerate it instead and eat it while the texture is smooth.
Can you make creme caramel ahead of time?
Yes, creme caramel is well suited to making ahead because it needs time to chill and set. Prepare it the day before serving, keep it covered in the refrigerator, and unmold it shortly before bringing it to the table.
Can creme caramel be made in a microwave?
Yes, you can cook creme caramel in a microwave, but the custard may set less evenly than in an oven. Make the caramel separately on the stovetop, use microwave-safe molds, and heat the custard gently in short intervals.
