Step 1
Heat 1/2 cup sugar in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts and turns deep amber, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Pour the caramel into a shallow serving dish, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Set aside.
Step 3
Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the dish. Place the dish in a larger pan filled with 1 inch of hot water (water bath).
Step 5
Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until the custard is just set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Step 6
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
Step 7
Scatter the prunes over the top and serve cold.
