Caramel Custard
A protein-boosted take on classic French crème caramel, built on skim milk and whey isolate instead of whole milk and cream so each silky custard carries a genuine protein hit beneath its dark, bittersweet caramel cap.

Instructions
1
Heat 22g sugar with the water in a small pan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring) until it turns deep amber, about 4-5 minutes, then immediately divide between 2 ramekins, tilting to coat the base.
2
Warm the skim milk gently until just steaming but not boiling, then whisk in the whey protein isolate until fully dissolved and smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the whole egg and egg white together with vanilla extract and salt until just combined, avoiding excess froth.
4
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly to temper without scrambling.
5
Strain the custard through a sieve into the caramel-lined ramekins to remove any egg strands.
6
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
7
Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 30-35 minutes until the custards are just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
8
Remove from the water bath and cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
9
Run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a small plate, letting the caramel sauce pour over the custard.
