- Once the custard is set, remove the ramekins from the steamer and allow them to cool to room temperature.
- After cooling, place the ramekins in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard and carefully invert it onto a plate. The caramel will form a beautiful sauce over the custard.
Tips:
- Flavor Variations: You can infuse the milk with flavors like cinnamon or citrus zest before adding it to the eggs. Just remove the milk from heat when it’s infused, and strain it before adding it to the egg mixture.
- Steam Time: Be careful not to over-steam the custard, as it can turn grainy. The texture should be smooth and creamy, not firm.
- Storage: Leftover steamed egg custard can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This Steamed Egg Custard is a simple yet elegant dessert with a luscious, velvety texture and rich caramel flavor. It’s perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh berries or a drizzle of cream. Enjoy!
