Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour sugar into a heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar melts and turns deep amber, 5–7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Remove from heat. Quickly tilt and coat the pan bottom with caramel, working fast—it hardens quickly.

  3. 3

    Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla in a blender until smooth, 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Pour custard mixture over caramel. Return skillet to medium heat and cook 1 minute, then remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Cover tightly with foil. Let sit at room temperature until set and cooled, about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Run a thin knife around edges. Invert onto a serving plate—caramel pools on top. Chill before serving.

Tools you’ll need

  • heavy 10-inch skillet
  • blender
  • spoon or spatula
  • foil
  • thin knife
  • serving plate
