Instructions

All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
Place one oven rack directly in the center of the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place a tea kettle or medium saucepot filled with water over high heat.
As soon as the water boils. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool down a bit while you prepare the caramel and the custard
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan placed over medium-high heat, add the sugar and heat it until it resembles a caramel color, stirring constantly.
Turn the heat down to low and continue stirring until the sugar dissolves, being careful not to burn it. It should be amber-colored and pourable.
Spoon or pour the caramel into the custard mold or 7-inch cake pan. Tilt and swirl the pan so that the caramel coats the bottom and sides of the pan. Set the pan aside for the caramel to set up while you prepare the custard.
Crack the eggs into the blender jar. Add the condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla. Blend until smooth, approximately 2 ½ minutes.
Pour the custard into the caramel-coated mold or pan.
Cover the mold with the secure lid or place aluminum foil tightly over the pan.
Place the custard-filled mold or pan inside the baking dish or roasting pan. Pour the warm water around the mold, approximately 1-inch in depth.
Carefully put the baking dish inside the oven on the center rack. Bake for 1 hour or until the custard has just set or firmed up. It should still be a bit jiggly.
Using oven mitts, transfer the custard mold or pan to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, place the custard in the refrigerator for about 4 hours until chilled.
Remove the lid or foil from the pan. Run a knife around the perimeter edge of the custard. Place a serving platter over the pan and turn it over. Tap gently to loosen until the custard releases from the mold in one piece.
Slice into wedges, serve and enjoy.
