Oven-Steamed Flan

Besides Tiramisu, and Chocolate Volcano Cake, my other ultimate favorite dessert is Flan. Yes, I’m just piling on the sugar and calories in my thighs and you know where else hah. I don’t make any of them that often. Only when I’m really craving each of them. And of course I don’t make it all at the same time. Can you imagine though if there’s Tiramisu, Chocolate Volcano cake, and flan in front of you? It’s like heaven but you’ll definitely regret it once you’re in bed for the night. So I suggest, make your favorite dessert, one at a time, in separate occasions.

 

I made Flan this time around and yes, it feels like heaven .

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup of water
1/2 white sugar
8 egg yolks
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp of vanilla
6-8 cups of hot water

 

Preheat oven to 355°.

 

In a pot, combine water and white sugar. Slowly boil to caramelize. Stir but not too much. Once it’s golden brown, pour into a flan pan, or casserole dish or a loaf pan. Distribute it to cover the bottom of the whole pan.

 

In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks, condense milk and vanilla extract.

 

Pour on top of the caramelized sugar.

 

Pour hot water on a large baking pan. Slowly put the flan pan on top of the large pan. Bake for about 1 hour and 1/2 or so. Or until set.

 

Once cooked, just let it cool for about 10 minutes, then run the back of the butter knife on the edge of the pan. Slowly and carefully invert the flan onto a serving plate.

 

Store it in the fridge for 3-4 hours before cutting a slice.
