looks pretty good right? It's surprisingly simple to make.
We were suppose to use heavy cream... but somehow we ended up with whipping cream. but it still worked pretty much the same with the exception of some bubbles present.
ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
3 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks
~2/3 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Melt about 1/4 cup sugar in a pan until it turns slightly brown, like honey. Pour the caramelized sugar into a glass container.
2. Beat the eggs.
3. Mix heavy cream and the rest of sugar with the eggs.
4. Pour mixture into the glass container.
5. Prepare a hot water bath using a larger container.
6. Place the glass container into the water bath and carefully place into oven.
7. bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. poke a skewer into it to check if it has thickened. (we had put some Kahlua in ours which we forgot would raise the boiling point and had to raise the temperature to over 400 degrees. oops! so keep that in mind... if you see that its not solidifying...)
8. Take the flan out and let it cool. when it is still warm, use a knife to carve around the sides and loosen it. Put a plate over it and flip! It should plop right out.
yay!
