Made Flan
"I’m sorry because I’ve always been your biggest flan." -- Jim Halpert
We ate Mexican food tonight, so J came up with the great idea to make flan. We decided to try out a quick recipe before dinner.
I melted some whole cane sugar and a little water in a saucepan.
I poured the melted sugar into six ramekins, and it hardened on the bottom. Meanwhile, I beat four eggs.
I boiled some coconut milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
After adding another half a cup of sugar, I stirred it up and poured the eggs in gradually. I poured this mixture into the ramekins on top of the hardened sugar.
I put this into a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. I took it out of the oven and let it cool.
After the ramekins cooled for a bit, I put them in the fridge for a little while. After they were chilled, I cut around the custard of one and flipped it upside down.
The flan came out pretty well. It tasted pretty good. I can definitely make something like this again, but I’d probably do a couple things differently next time. I would probably use regular sugar and I think I may have put the eggs in a little too quickly. It should incorporate into the milk before I add more. Lastly, I would probably prepare it earlier so it could be in the refrigerator longer. That way it could set up a little firmer.
It’s not my favorite dessert that I’ve made this year, but it is not difficult and tastes delicious.
