Make the caramel: Combine sugar and water in a saucepan.
3
Heat on medium flame, swirling the pot occasionally, until sugar melts and turns orange to amber color. Immediately divide the caramel evenly among the ramekins.
4
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
5
Make the custard: Combine heavy cream, dulce de leche and salt in a saucepan.
6
Stir until the mixture is smooth and starts to barely simmer, registering 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
7
In the meantime, whisk eggs and egg yolks in a separate bowl.
8
To temper the eggs, slowly add one ladleful of the hot cream mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly.
9
Now, whisk the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the cream mixture.
10
Line a roasting pan with a kitchen towel.
11
Bring a large pot of water to boil.
12
Pour the custard into the caramel-lined ramekins.
13
Place the ramekins in the roasting pan and pour the hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
14
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the custard is just set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
15
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
16
To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the ramekin, invert it over a serving plate, and enjoy immediately.
