Time 2h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint milk
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar (or Splenda equivalent)
2 oranges
1 tablespoon brown sugar (to taste)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat milk, over low heat, in a small saucepan on the back burner and keep warm until ready to use.
  • In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch; slowly whisk in a little of the hot milk to temper the eggs.
  • Pour egg mixture into warm milk and stir constantly until thickened a bit (flan will thicken while it is chilling in the refrigerator).
  • While the custard cools, peel oranges and divide them into sections: place into a serving bowl or mold; sprinkle oranges liberally with brown sugar (I stir and crush them a little to release some of the juice).
  • Pour cooled custard over oranges; sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Chill, in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, loosen carefully from sides, invert onto a plate, and serve.
