Melt the sugar in a small saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly, until light brown but not too dark. Remove from the heat and quickly but evenly divide the mixture between 4 ovenproof dishes, ensuring the bottom is covered. Beat the eggs and icing sugar with a whisk. Gradually add the milk and mix well. Divide evenly between the dishes. Fill a large ovenproof dish with hot water, place the dishes in it, and bake at 170°C (fan oven) for about 35 minutes. Then pierce the surface with a toothpick; if nothing sticks, the cream is done. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, then loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a plate. If desired, garnish the cream with strawberries.
