Best Creme Caramel With Raisins Recipes

CREME CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place eight 4-ounce ramekins in a large roasting pan. Add 4 tablespoons water to a small pot. Add 1 cup sugar and stir to dissolve. Cook over medium-high, swirling occasionally, until caramel begins to turn amber, 6 to 8 minutes. Working quickly, divide caramel between ramekins, swirling ramekins to coat bottoms evenly, set aside.
• In a medium pot, heat milk over medium until hot, but not boiling. In a medium bowl whisk together whole eggs and yolks, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. While whisking, ladle some milk into the egg mixture. Whisk in remaining milk, one ladle at a time. Strain through a fine sieve into a large liquid measuring cup, and stir in vanilla. Divide custard evenly among ramekins.
• Transfer roasting pan to oven. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until custards are just set, about 35 minutes.
• With tongs, remove ramekins from hot water and let cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours (or up to 3 days). To unmold, run a sharp knife around inside of each ramekins and invert onto a serving plate, gently shaking to release.

CRèME CARAMEL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Heat 1/2 cup of the sugar in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat 7 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently with wooden spoon, until sugar is melted and a light caramel color (mixture will be very hot and could melt a plastic spoon). Immediately pour sugar mixture into round pan, 8x1 1/2 inches; tilt pan to coat bottom. Place on wire rack to cool.
• Mix remaining 1/2 cup sugar, milk, egg product, salt and vanilla in large bowl. Pour mixture over sugar mixture in pan. Place in rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Pour very hot water into rectangular pan to within 1/2 inch of top of round pan.
• Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove round pan from pan of water. Cover; refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours or overnight. To unmold, run knife around edge of custard to loosen; invert onto serving platter. Top with fruit.

CREME CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with a rack in the center.
• For the caramel: add the sugar and 3 tablespoons water to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Swirl the pan to wet all the sugar, but do not stir or whisk. Cook until the sugar melts and begins to bubble, swirling occasionally. It will eventually caramelize and turn golden yellow, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Continue to cook until it turns an amber color, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the caramel between 8 ramekins, coating the bottoms and partway up the sides. Set aside to cool completely and let the caramel set.
• For the custard: Heat the cream, milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium heat until slightly simmering. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and salt. Temper the mixture by pouring a small amount of the hot liquid into the eggs while whisking continuously. Continue to stream the milk into eggs until all the liquid has been added and thoroughly mixed. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a perfectly smooth custard, removing any lumps or bits of cooked egg. Divide the custard base evenly among your ramekins, pouring it over the caramel.
• Put the ramekins in a large casserole dish or roasting pan. Pull out the center oven rack and place the pan on the rack. Very slowly and carefully, pour hot water into the bottom of the roasting pan until it comes about 1 inch up the sides of the ramekins. Avoid splashing water into the custards. Carefully slide in the rack and bake until the centers of custards jiggle when the ramekins are jostled, 40 to 45 minutes. If the custard is still liquid in the center and sloshes when you gently shake it, bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Check often so the custards don't overbake.
• Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath with tongs and allow to cool on the countertop before transferring to the refrigerator to cool completely.
• For the coconut tuiles: Toast 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut on a baking sheet until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir after 5 minutes to ensure even coloring. Set aside to cool. Mix with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and flour and mix until fully incorporated. Add the egg whites slowly, one at a time, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Put a small spoonful of batter on the mat and spread thinly with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle with coconut. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 tuiles. Bake until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the centers are still pale, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool for 1 minute after removing from the oven. Peel up the edge of one cookie with an offset spatula and peel it off the baking sheet. While still warm, shape each cookie by curling it around the handle of a wooden spoon if desired.
• When ready to serve the creme caramels, run a small offset spatula or paring knife around the edge of each ramekin. Invert onto rimmed plates and carefully lift, allowing the excess caramel to fill the plate around the base of the custard. Garnish with a coconut tuile.

CREME CARAMEL WITH RAISINS

Steps:

• Place the raisins in a dish, add the rum, cover, and allow to steep for 24 hours.
• Place 2/3 cup of the sugar and 6 tablespoons water in a medium-size nonstick skillet. Swirl to moisten the sugar. Then, bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until the mixture turns to dark caramel.
• Pour a thin layer of the caramel into each of 10 half-cup ramekins or dariole molds, enough caramel to coat the bottoms. Scatter the marinated raisins into the ramekins. Set aside.
• Place the milk and 1/2 cup of the sugar into a saucepan, and bring just to a boil.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of the sugar with the eggs and egg yolk. Pour in the hot milk in a thin stream. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, and add the vanilla. Pour into the ramekins.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Place the ramekins in a baking dish or a roasting pan, and add enough warm water to the pan so that the water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until firm.
• Remove the ramekins from the water bath, and allow the custards to cool. Then, refrigerate them at least 4 hours. To serve, unmold by running a thin knife around the edges of the custards, and invert them onto small plates.
