Advice
Warm milk helps dissolve sugar and prevents graininess. Straining the custard removes bubbles for a glass-smooth texture and clean jiggle.
Why it works
Gentle heat in a water bath sets egg proteins into a fine gel; caramel liquefies on unmolding into a bittersweet sauce that balances the custard’s sweetness.
Twist
Classic Dubrovnik scent is 🌹 rozulin—if unavailable, use vanilla plus a drop of rose water (go light).

Old-town romance on a plate—shiny caramel and a satin wobble. #grannyzen #croatiandessert 🍮🇭🇷
