Ingredients
-
1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
-
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the caramel by melting the granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling until it turns golden brown. Immediately pour caramel into the bottom of muffin tins to coat evenly.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
-
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the muffin tins, filling about 3/4 full.
-
Place the muffin tin in a larger baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove from oven and cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert muffins onto plates, allowing caramel to drizzle over.
Notes
Use caution when handling hot caramel.
Water bath helps create a smooth, creamy texture.
