Ingredients:
- 25 grams sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Syrup:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Continue boiling the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency, where a small ball forms when a drop is added to cold water. This syrup will add sweetness and texture to your Tocino Del Cielo.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until smooth and creamy.
- Once the syrup has cooled slightly, gradually pour it into the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Blend the mixture well until it becomes thick and smooth. For a silky texture, you can strain the mixture to remove any lumps.
-
Prepare the Caramel Base:
- Line a pan or small individual molds with a thick layer of caramel syrup. This will add a hint of bitterness and depth of flavor to complement the sweetness of the Tocino Del Cielo.
-
Assembly and Cooking:
- Fill the prepared molds or pan about three-quarters full with the egg mixture.
- Steam the filled molds over medium heat until the Tocino Del Cielo is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This gentle cooking method ensures a soft and velvety texture.
-
Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the Tocino Del Cielo to cool slightly before unmolding it from the molds.
- Serve the dessert warm or chilled, garnished with a drizzle of caramel syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
-
Note:
- Tocino Del Cielo is traditionally baked in small individual molds and served in charming soufflé cups for an elegant presentation. Feel free to get creative with your serving style to make this dessert truly stand out on your table!
