- Preparation: 380 min
- Cooking: 70 min
- Makes: 1 serving (202 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg
Ingredients
- 32 g Sugar
- 125 g Milk, whole
- 40 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.5 g Lemon zest
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract
- 4 g Rose liqueur (rozalin) or rum
Method
- Warm the milk with the lemon zest and the vanilla until it steams, then take it off the heat and leave it for 15 minutes to take their flavour.
- Melt about a third of the sugar in a dry pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, swirling the pan, until it turns a deep amber caramel. Pour it at once into a ring mould or small moulds and tilt them so it coats the bottom and a little of the sides; it sets hard quickly.
- Beat the eggs with the rest of the sugar only until mixed, without whipping them to a foam: bubbles leave holes in the custard. Stir in the warm milk and the rozalin, then pour it through a sieve into the mould.
- Stand the mould in a roasting tin and pour hot water into the tin to come halfway up. Bake at 150 °C for 50-60 minutes (small moulds for 30-35 minutes), until set but still trembling a little in the middle.
- Leave it to cool, then chill it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, better overnight, so the caramel melts into a sauce.
- Run a thin knife round the edge, put a deep plate on top and turn it over in one go. Serve cold, in slices, with the caramel sauce poured over.
- Rozalin, the rose liqueur of Dubrovnik, gives rožata its scent; where there is none, a little rum or rose water is used.
