👩‍🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Lightly grease an 8Ă—8-inch metal baking pan or another similar oven-safe dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: Add the Condensed Milk
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the center of the prepared pan.
Allow it to spread naturally across the bottom, creating the sweet caramelized layer that develops during baking.
Step 3: Mix the Egg Base
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract (or cinnamon) until smooth.
Mix just until combined, avoiding too much air being added to the mixture.
Step 4: Create the Layers
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the condensed milk layer.
Using a fork or small whisk, gently swirl the two mixtures together a few times.
Tip: Do not fully blend the layers. Keeping them slightly separated creates a beautiful marbled effect and gives the custard its unique texture.
Step 5: Bake the Custard
Tap the pan gently on the counter once or twice to remove any large air bubbles.
Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes.
The custard is ready when the edges are firm and lightly golden, while the center still has a slight wobble when gently moved.
Step 6: Cool Before Serving
Remove the custard from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 20–30 minutes.
This allows the dessert to set and develop its creamy texture.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm by spooning portions directly from the pan.
For cleaner slices, allow the custard to cool completely, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours before cutting into squares.
Drizzle any caramelized syrup from the pan over each serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
