This is Brazil’s answer to crème caramel, but without the richness of cream. It has a smooth, creamy texture without being too heavy and is delicious served with fresh fruit; the sharp tang of oranges and pineapples go particularly well with it.
Ingredients
450 g 1 lb 2 cups 30
Method
1 Put the sugar and water in a heavy pan. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat and boil for 7-8 minutes, until the syrup turns to a golden brown caramel, swirling the pan to ensure even browning. Immediately dip the base of the pan in cool water for a few seconds to prevent burning.
