Basic creme caramel

Creme caramel! The equally impressive but simpler cousin of creme brûlée! this is an oldie but goodie recipe. Very easy once familiar with process yet impressive. Then plate it as pretentious as you like!

I made this recipe with all kinds of different milk from high fat content table cream to non fat coconut milk or almond milk. I do find that soy milk tends to leave gritty foams once scalding hot and should be avoided.

I obviously had way too much free time on my hand and went artsy with the plate. I decorated the plate with matcha powder, topped the creme caramel with black sesame and dotted coconut sugar foam.

A simpler version made with coconut milk and topped with passion Fruit!
