How to Make Creme Caramel Reduced Fat
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a small, heavy saucepan, combine 1/3 cup (60g) granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons (45ml) water.
- Cook over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep golden amber color (about 4-5 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Immediately and carefully pour the caramel into six (6) 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups that have been lightly coated with cooking spray.
- Tilt the ramekins to coat the bottom evenly with caramel. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 large egg whites until light and frothy.
- Whisk in 2 cups (480ml) reduced-fat milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 2/3 cup (130g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl to remove any lumps.
- Evenly divide the custard mixture among the prepared ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the custards are just set but still slightly jiggly in the center. A knife inserted near the edge should come out clean.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custards to fully set and chill.
- To serve, run a thin knife or a small offset spatula around the edges of each custard.
- Place a dessert plate upside down on top of each ramekin.
- Quickly invert the ramekin onto the plate, allowing the custard to slide out.
- Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the custards and serve immediately.
