Children generally don't like milk, but when it comes to milk delicacies they enjoy it a lot. Here is one of the simplest and quick milk delicacy.

• Pour this caramel in a baking dish and let it cool for sometime.

• When the caramel has cooled down pour the milk egg mix into the baking dish.
• Bake in convection mode at 180 degree Celsius for 20 to 25 minutes. Create a water bed  below baking dish in oven.
• After baking cool the custard till it reaches room temperature.

• Put the custard in freezer for 4 to 5 hours with the baking dish itself.
• Remove from freezer, invert  onto a serving dish and enjoy your custard.

 Note:

• Frequently look into microwave after 17 minutes for any over cooking of Custard. depending upon the quality of milk it may get cooked faster or slower. I have used raw cows milk which is not pasteurized like in packet'ed ones.
