This caramel custard recipe is delicious and easy to make. Be sure to bake the custard in water to ensure even cooking. The caramel in the bottom of the cups will run down the dessert top beautifully when the cups are turned upside down to loosen the desert for serving. You will need milk, sugar, eggs, and our Ronald Reginald’s Vanilla Bean Marinade<sup>®</sup>.
