🔥 Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Carefully transfer the water bath setup into the oven.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
Avoid overbaking, as this can lead to a rubbery texture.
❄️ Step 5: Cool and Chill
- Remove the pie from the water bath and let it cool at room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
This chilling time allows the custard to fully set and develop its creamy consistency.
🍽️ Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
When ready to serve:
- Slice gently with a sharp knife.
- You’ll notice the caramel layer has softened into a rich sauce that seeps into the custard.
- Serve as is, or top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
đź’ˇ Tips for Success
- Use room-temperature eggs for smoother mixing.
- Don’t skip the straining step—it guarantees a silky custard.
- Keep an eye on the caramel—it can burn quickly in seconds.
- Water bath is key for that perfect creamy texture.
