• Honey crème caramels are so sweet and soft you’ll fall in love with them. If you want to get a bit more adventurous and try some different flavour combinations, add a drop or two of coffee essence to the custard mixture, or add the zest of 1 orange to the honey custard mixture for a slight citrusy tang.
