How to Make Creme Caramel Reduced Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine 1/3 cup (60g) granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons (45ml) water.
  3. 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.
  4. Immediately and carefully pour the caramel into six (6) 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups that have been lightly coated with cooking spray.
  5. Tilt the ramekins to coat the bottom evenly with caramel. Set aside.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 2 large egg whites until light and frothy.
  7. 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.
  8. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl to remove any lumps.
  9. Evenly divide the custard mixture among the prepared ramekins.
  10. Place the ramekins in a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  11. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
  12. 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.
  13. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the custards to fully set and chill.
  15. To serve, run a thin knife or a small offset spatula around the edges of each custard.
  16. Place a dessert plate upside down on top of each ramekin.
  17. Quickly invert the ramekin onto the plate, allowing the custard to slide out.
  18. Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the custards and serve immediately.
