Spread castor sugar in an even layer on a heavy bottomed sauce pan set over medium heat.Add water on top and without stirring let it cook until the sugar melts.It’ll slowly start caramelising and getting a golden amber colour.This will take around 7-8 minutes.
Carefully and immediately pour the caramel into a heat proof 6 inch round dish. Swirl it around to cover all the corners before the caramel set and hardens.
While the caramel cools, combine hot milk and coffee together.
Once the coffee dissolves , add in cream, condensed milk and eggs.Give it a good whisk and combine everything together.
Strain this mixture over the cooled caramel using a sieve. This will ensure that there are no air bubbles in the custard and it is smooth all around.
To steam the creme caramel, place a kadhai on low-medium heat and add water upto 1 inch in the kadhai.
Place a small stand in the centre. Cover the dish with foil paper and carefully place on top of the stand and cover it with a lid.
Cook the coffee crème caramel for 50 minutes.
Once cooked, carefully take it out and refrigerate overnight.
Once the coffee crème caramel is set, place a serving dish over it, invert the dish to demould and serve.
