Velvety, smooth, creamy... so many ways to describe this delightful custard. Making caramel can be tricky. This recipe is easy and tastes amazing. Keep a stash in the fridge for an ice cream topping. Heavenly!

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR CUSTARD
1 Tbsp gelatin, unflavored
1/2 c cold milk
3 medium egg yolks; reserve whites
1 c sugar
1 1/2 c cold milk
3 egg whites; beaten to stiff peaks
1 c whipped cream
CARAMEL SAUCE
5 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp cream
1 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Soften gelatin in 1/2 c cold milk.
  • 2. Beat egg yolks and sugar well in a heatproof bowl. Slowly add 1-1/2 cups of milk. Cook in a double boiler until mixture coats spoon. (Actually, I use a whisk and it also will coat the whisk). Add gelatin mixture and stir together. Place in fridge until mixture is completely chilled.
  • 3. When totally chilled, beat the mixture, with a whisk, until creamy and not lumpy. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites and whipped cream. Add vanilla and mix well.
  • 4. Pour into parfait dishes and chill.
  • 5. For caramel sauce, add butter, cream, vanilla and brown sugar to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and stir for 2 minutes.
  • 6. Let cool slightly and serve over custard.
  • 7. You can add any other flavor topping to the custard if you prefer.
