Caramelized Milk Pudding
A protein-engineered take on Italian-style caramelized milk flan, built on a whey-fortified skim milk custard instead of whole milk and cream, baked low and slow in a water bath until silky, then chilled and turned out to let the dark caramel pool over the top.

Instructions
1
Heat 28g sugar with the water in a small pan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring) until it turns deep amber, then immediately divide between 2 ramekins, tilting to coat the base.
2
Warm the skim milk until just steaming, then whisk in the whey protein isolate until fully dissolved with no lumps.
3
In a bowl, beat the whole egg and egg white together, then slowly whisk in the warm milk mixture, vanilla extract and salt, taking care not to aerate it too much.
4
Strain the custard through a sieve into the caramel-lined ramekins to remove any egg strands.
5
Place the ramekins in a deep baking tray and pour hot water halfway up their sides to create a water bath.
6
Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 32-35 minutes until the custards are just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
7
Remove from the water bath and cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8
Run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin, place a plate on top and invert so the flan releases with its caramel sauce pooling around it.
