You can’t have the cream caramel as soon as it is cooked, it must cool down. If you are lucky and you have a blast chiller, it will take very little time. I am not so lucky, and I cool it down on a cooling rank, and then I transfer it into the fridge overnight covered with cling film. You should prepare it the day before to enjoy its full flavor.
