About

A hint of sesame oil adds an unexpected nuttiness to this crème caramel, and the sesame seeds float to the surface as the custard bakes, toasting nicely. Once the crème caramel is inverted, the seeds become almost like a crust at the bottom of the dessert.

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepot, bring the sugar, cream of tartar, and water up to a boil, and boil over high heat without stirring, occasionally brushing the sides of the pot with water, until the sugar caramelizes, about 3 minutes. C
