I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my caramel creams turned out really runny. I think I might have overcooked the sugar.

I was disappointed with these caramel creams. They were too sweet for my taste and the texture was a bit grainy.

These caramel creams are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few extra yolks in my fridge and these are the perfect way to use them up.

These caramel creams are the perfect combination of sweet and creamy. They're also very rich, so a little goes a long way.

I was a bit skeptical about making these caramel creams because I'm not a very experienced baker. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy they were to make. And they turned out so delicious!
