Grandma Eloise's Eggnog Crème Caramel

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine all Caramel ingredients. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until sugar is melted and amber in color. Immediately pour into the bottom of a 6-cup ramekin or individual ramekins.
3. Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together all Custard ingredients until well combined.
4. Pour custard mixture over the caramel in the ramekin(s).
5. Place ramekin(s) in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekin(s) (water bath).
6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Remove from water bath and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
8. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the ramekin(s). Invert onto a serving plate. The caramel sauce will flow over the custard.
