Baked caramel custard

Here come another sweet dish - Caramel Custard.

Ingredients
Melted butter
2 eggs, lightly whisked
1/2 cup thickened cream
1/2 cup no-fat milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3/4 cup castor sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C. Brush an ovenproof dish with melted butter to lightly grease. Place dish in a roasting pan.
Combine the egg, cream, milk, vanilla essence and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a vessel. Transfer the remaining sugar in a medium heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring with a metal spoon, for 3 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and starts to caramelize. Add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Pour the hot caramel into the baking dish. Pour the milk mixture into the baking dish. Cover the baking dish with foil. Cook in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Uncover baking dish and cook for a further 5 minutes or until custard sets. Remove from oven. Carefully turn the baked caramel custard into shallow bowl and serve immediately or serve chilled.

I love caramel custard, Low cal or otherwise.

By the way, there is a restaurant in Koramangala (BLR), called Kubay. They have it on their menu and I love it! They charge some 50 bucks, I think...
