      Dear Sahro,

      Thank you for your comment. The method is explained in the third paragraph of the introduction. We wrote: “Since there were no ovens in most Somali homes, creme caramel was cooked in a pot set inside a larger pot that has water in it. Charcoal fire was used and, to provide even heat, hot embers were put on the lid of the smaller pot. No lid was used on the larger pot.”

      Make sure the water level should not be higher than half the height of the smaller pot. Make sure also the heat is not too high and is just enough for a soft boil, otherwise you will end up with scramble eggs.

   Asalaamu Alaaykum Walalayal, i hope all is well and Ramadan is going great for you guys and i hope Allah showers you with his mercy and blessings in this beloved month Ameen :).. I made this today and Alhamdulilah it came out perfect jiggly in the middle and all. The only problem is it tastes really eggy i just wanted to know if that’s normal and if that’s how it is suppose to taste? And my caramel didn’t go as dark as yours it was sort of goldy and as the caramel cooled in the ramekins i could hear it cracking. Sorry for the 76 questions but i would really appreciate your answers :).. Thanks in advance.

      Wa’alaikum Assalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

      Thank you so much for your very kind words. We are all well and everything is fine, thank God.

      It should not be too eggy, but remember this is an egg custard. Did you add cardamom? You can add vanilla instead if you like. For a darker caramel you need to brown it more, and the cracking sound is normal. Thank you for the questions. They are always welcome.
