I used ready mix Custard powder for this recipe and it saves a bunch of time. I have never made custard from scratch, so I cannot vouch if the store bought custard powder tastes as good as the one made from scratch. However, this is a really tasty version too.
To make it more fancy, I added some caramel on top before I steamed the custard.
This is very similar to a Flan, the only difference is, the Caramel on top is not as thick and we steam this instead of baking it.
Custard Powder - 1 pack
Caramel:
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Water - 3 tbsp
Mix the sugar with water in a thick bottom pan and heat till golden brown. Don't stir.
Pour the Caramel into a dish that fits into the pressure cooker.
Prepare the custard mix according to instructions on the box. Pour on top of the caramel.
Place in the steamer/cooker and steam for about 20 to 25 min. Open and check if it's set.
Remove and cool and invert onto a serving plate.
I love this when it's chilled.
