CrèmeCaramel

"Okay, daredevils: This recipe's for you. It's the most challenging dessert in our quintet because you have to make caramel *and* custard *and* endure a 12-hour chilling period. And once that's all squared away, you must then invert the crèmes and cross your fingers that they slide out of the ramekins in good shape. If that doesn't make your heart rate increase, might I suggest bungee jumping? But the results are worth it: a quivering pudding with a waterfall of caramel that sweetens every bite. To take the recipe a step further, infuse your creamâ??with crushed cardamom pods, orange zest, chopped coffee beans, Earl Grey tea leaves, or fresh herbsâ??before you begin.
