This favourite baked custard with delicious caramel is not only elegant, it's unbelievably easy. To see more cooking videos like this go to http://www.inspired.ca.
@101smileygurl The water is added at the beginning of the process. The caramel hardens in the bottom of the ramekins at first; after the custard is added and the ramekins go in the oven, the caramel re-melts under the custard and comes out easily when the dessert is released from the mould. The caramel will be mostly liquid even if the ramekins are released cold, because the moisture from the custard layer keeps it soft. It is really quite easy and very delicious! Hope this helps!
@ShadowNick5 Hi Nick, in checking with Chef Bonny, her suggestion was "For a darker caramel colour and flavour, just cook the caramel a little bit longer, but be careful - caramel can go from golden brown to burnt rather quickly". Enjoy!
If we don't add anything to the caramel in the end, won't it harden? Isn't she suppose to add water?

One question how do you make a stronger carmel. Like a darker color and stronger flavor?
