Crema de zahar ars/Crème caramel
Ingrediente pentru crema de zahar ars:
- 4 oua;
- 175 grame zahar tos;
- 500 mL lapte;
- miez de nuca pentru decor (optional);
- ciocolata neagra topita pentru decor (optional);
- 2 esente de vanilie;
- 1 praf de sare.
Ingrediente pentru decoratiunile din caramel:
- 200 grame zahar tos.
Timp de preparare: 1 h 30 minute
Portii: 4
Mod de preparare:
Intr-o oala puneti 100 grame de zahar tos. Oala o puneti pe foc si amestecati din cand in cand pana cand zaharul se topeste si se formeaza caramelul. Nu lasati prea mult pentru ca exista riscul de a se arde. Folositi 4 forme din ceramica iar in fiecare forma puneti cate 2 linguri de caramel si miscati forma astfel incat baza sa fie acoperita uniform cu caramel. Dispersati cat se poate de repede caramelul pentru ca se intareste. Intr-un bol puneti cele 4 oua, adaugati 75 grame de zahar, 1 varf praf de sare si esentele de vanilie. Amestecati totul cu ajutorul unui mixer pentru cateva minute pana cand zaharul este complet topit. Dupa adaugati laptele care este la temperatura camerei si mai mixati cateva minute pana cand toate ingredientele sunt bine omogenizate. Turnati din crema facuta in fiecare forma. Formele se aseaza intr-un vas care contine apa deoarece crema de zahar ars se va face la bain-marie la cuptor. Preincalziti cuptorul la 200 °C timp de cateva minute si dupa puneti vasul. Lasati crema de zahar ars la foc mediu pentru aproximativ 1 h sau pana cand crema devine aurie deasupra.
Puneti intr-un vas 200 grame de zahar tos si lasati-l pe foc pana cand zaharul se topeste si se formeaza caramelul. Cu cat caramelul este mai fierbinte cu atat puteti face mai usor formele. Puteti sa faceti diverse forme cu ajutorul lingurei pe o hartie de copt iar cand formele s-au racit le dezlipiti. Eu am facut si nuci caramelizate. Dezlipiti crema de zahar ars din forma si ornati-o cu caramel, nuci si ciocolata neagra.

Ingredients for crème caramel:
4 eggs;
175 grams granulated sugar;
500 milliliters milk;
walnuts for decoration (optional);
melted dark chocolate for decoration (optional);
2 teaspoons vanilla extract;
1 pinch of salt.
Ingredients for the caramel decorations:
200 grams granulated sugar.
Preparation time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Method of preparation:
In a saucepan, add 100 grams of granulated sugar. Place it over heat and stir from time to time until the sugar melts and turns into caramel. Do not cook it for too long, because it can burn easily. Use 4 ceramic ramekins, and pour about 2 tablespoons of caramel into each one, tilting the ramekins so the base is coated evenly. Spread the caramel quickly, because it hardens fast.
In a bowl, add the 4 eggs, then add 75 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vanilla extract. Mix with a mixer for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the room temperature milk and mix for a few more minutes until everything is well combined. Pour the custard mixture into the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish and add water to the dish, because the custards will bake in a bain-marie (water bath). Preheat the oven to 200°C for a few minutes, then place the dish in the oven. Bake over medium heat for about 1 hour, or until the tops turn lightly golden.
For the caramel decorations, place 200 grams of granulated sugar in a pan and heat it until it melts and becomes caramel. The hotter the caramel is, the easier it is to shape. Use a spoon to drizzle different shapes onto baking paper, and once the shapes cool, peel them off. I also made caramelized walnuts. Unmold the creme caramel and decorate it with caramel pieces, walnuts, and melted dark chocolate.
