Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 0.5 cup sugar in a skillet over medium until it melts into amber liquid, ~4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Working quickly, pour caramel into a round 9-inch baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, 0.25 cup sugar, and water until smooth, ~90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour custard mixture through a fine sieve into the caramel-lined dish to catch any bits.

  5. Step 5

    Bake uncovered until set at the edges but the center still jiggles slightly when nudged, ~15 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 2 hours or until chilled through.

Tools you’ll need

  • 9-inch round baking dish
  • medium skillet
