Tricks for a perfect crème caramel
- Beware of caramel: Do not stir while the caramel is cooking, and do not allow it to overcook to prevent it from becoming bitter.
- Filtering the milk: Filtering the milk after heating it ensures a smooth cream without lumps.
- Double boiler: Cooking in a bain-marie helps to achieve even cooking and prevent the cream from piercing.
- Check the doneness: Every oven is different, so check the doneness a few minutes before the indicated time.
- Let it rest: Resting in the refrigerator helps improve texture and flavor.
