Categories     dessert

Time 1h47m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
2 cups condensed milk
2 cups whole milk
3 limes, zested
1 vanilla bean
6 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F
  • To make the caramel, heat together the water and sugar gently, over a medium flame, until it is golden brown, about 10 minutes, ensuring the mixture does not burn.
  • Meanwhile, pour the condensed milk and whole milk into a pan. Add the lime zest. Slice the vanilla pod in half and carefully scrape out the vanilla seeds and add these to the milk mixture. Simmer the milk slowly for 15 minutes to let the flavors combine.
  • Once the caramel is ready, pour into a cake pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat together. Slowly pour a little of the warm milk, vanilla, and lime mixture into the eggs. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling. Once the warm milk has raised the temperature of the eggs (tempered), pour in the rest of the milk. Pour all of the mixture into the cake pan over the caramel. Cook the cake pan in a water bath by placing the pan inside a larger pan that is filled half-way with water. Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Once ready, allow to cool and place inside a refrigerator overnight. The flan is then ready to be flipped over gently and served.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups plus 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
3 large eggs
5 large egg yolks
2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Lime slices (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Place eight 2/3-cup ramekins or custard cups on work surface. Stir 1 1/3 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Immediately pour caramel into ramekins. Using oven mitts as aid, pick up each ramekin and tilt and rotate to coat sides with caramel. Place ramekins in large roasting pan.
  • Using back of spoon, mash 1/2 cup sugar and lime peel in large bowl until sugar is moist and fragrant. Add eggs and yolks; whisk to blend. Bring cream and milk to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk cream mixture into egg mixture. Whisk in vanilla and salt. Ladle custard into caramel-lined ramekins. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins.
  • Bake flans until just set and beginning to color on top, about 45 minutes. Remove from water; let cool 45 minutes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Cut around sides of ramekins to loosen flans. Invert flans onto plates. Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
