Ingredients

Scale

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz can evaporated milk
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
5 large eggs
1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a non-stick cake pan.
In a saucepan, combine sugar and water, boil until golden, then pour into the cake pan to create caramel.
Blend sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, eggs, and salt until smooth. Pour over the caramel.
Cover the cake pan with foil and place inside a roasting pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides.
Bake for 70-80 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least six hours or overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edges, invert onto a platter, and garnish as desired.
