Unless you&#8217;re a sucker for punishment, it&#8217;s one of those things that is usually better left to the professionals. But, like all good things in life, there&#8217;s a hack for that. This recipe for Cheat\u2019s Cr\u00e8me Caramel is sure to impress your guests and give off the illusion that you&#8217;re a whizz in the kitchen.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What makes this recipe so genius is the fact that it cuts out unnecessarily complicated steps, making your life so much easier. When making Cr\u00e8me Caramel\u00a0 the traditional way you first need to caramelise refined sugar and set it in a mould to create a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">hard caramel base before pouring custard on top and baking. This cheat&#8217;s version calls for dark and delicious unrefined sugar instead &#8211; hence the cheat in cheat&#8217;s Cr\u00e8me Caramel<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Cheat\u2019s Cr\u00e8me Caramel<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Ingredients<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">115g Natura Dark Muscovado Sugar<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">5 large eggs<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">140g Natura Golden Caster Sugar<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">15ml vanilla extract<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">375ml full cream milk<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">375ml pouring cream<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Method:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 degrees for fan-oven) and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">make sure the oven rack is positioned on the lower third of the oven.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Lightly grease 10 small dariole moulds or ramekins with cooking spray and<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">equally divide the Natura Sugars Dark Muscovado between them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Compact the sugar in the base of the mould by using a smaller cup or a<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">teaspoon. Place the moulds in a deep roasting tray, ensuring there\u2019s enough<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">room between each of the moulds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Combine the eggs, Natura Sugars Golden Caster and vanilla extract. Gently<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">heat up the milk and cream in a small pot over a medium heat until it just<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">starts to boil. Immediately remove from the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">While whisking, gradually pour the milk\/cream mix into the egg mixture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Strain the mixture into a pouring jug and pour it into the prepared moulds.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Don\u2019t worry if any sugar begins to float, it will eventually sink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Place the Cr\u00e8me Caramels in the oven and pour enough boiling water into the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">tray to reach halfway up the sides of the caramels. Bake for 25 minutes or<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">until just set with a slight wobble in the middle. It should look like jelly! (Note: be careful not to overbake these \u2013 the custard should still be wobbly!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Allow to cool before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When you\u2019re ready to serve, run a thin knife along the edges of the moulds and invert onto a plate. The caramels will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Want more great recipes?
