by Melanie Foster
serves: 6
  A creamy Latin American dessert. Easy and can be made ahead.
Ingredients:
  1 1/2 cups   milk
  1/2 cup   heavy cream
  2   eggs
  2   egg yolks
  1/2 cup   sugar
  1 tsp   vanilla
  1/2 cup   heavy cream
  1/4 cup   butter
  1/2 cup   light corn syrup
  1 cup   sugar
Directions:
  In a large saucepan, heat milk and cream until steaming hot and small bubbles form around the edges of the pan, but do not let come to a boil.
In a casserole dish, whisk together the eggs, extra yolks, sugar and vanilla.
In a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, pour the scalded milk into the egg mixture.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the casserole into a larger baking dish and pour the hot water into the dish creating a hot water bath around the casserole.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes until the center of the custard is barely set.

Meanwhile make the caramel sauce:
Heat the cream, butter, corn syrup and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan. Boil 5 minutes. When the custard is done, remove the cassreole from the water bath. Pour the caramel over the top. Let cool or chill until serving time.
