Crème Caramel_Caramel Custard

Crème caramel was my father's favourite, often made at his home. It's also one of my husband's & son's favourite dessert. This particular version was given to me by another beloved friend, Yasmin, whom I met in Nairobi. Delicious, easy and decadent make it a must have in any recipe collection. Bake away and indulge.
