Ingredients
 
 

For the cream:

  • 1 liter whole milk
  • 180 g granulated sugar
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g butter at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the caramel:

  • 150 g cream
  • 50 g sugar

Instructions
 

For the cream:

  • Place a deep pot over medium to high heat, add the butter and stir with a spoon until it melts, add the flour and stir constantly, so that the flour does not stick to the pot.
  • Pour the milk slowly, stirring constantly with the hand whisk, so that it does not become lumpy.
  • Let the cream thicken well and taste it, and if it tastes like flour, continue cooking.
  • Add the sugar, vanilla and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and spread it in a round 23cm (9 inch) mold, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool.

For the caramel:

  • Place a pan over medium heat, pour in the sugar and with a wooden spoon stir until completely dissolved and caramelized.
  • Add the cream and stir for 2 to 3 minutes and let it slightly cool.
  • Spread the caramel over the cream, cut and serve.

The recipe does require some patience and focus (I may almost have burned the cream once or twice), but it turned out well in the end. I loved that it used such simple ingredients. I think this one’s a keeper!
