Orange Flan
Today I am sharing with you my recipe of Orange Flan, a simple dessert you can prepare at home.
This dessert makes me feel a bit nostalgic before I started Chewing Happiness, I just took pics of what I cooked at home, I did not have a professional camera, and my home at that time did not have any “good windows” I relied on the artificial lights I had at home, I didn’t have a clue about lighting and positioning the subject around it or composition. I remember my main goal was to post a pic of what I cooked daily on my IG: Chewinghappiness.
I remember the first time I made this dessert, the pic I end up with was really bad, It barely showed what I cooked, but I loved that pic so much that you can still find it on my IG, I saved it as a reminder that no matter how bad I am at something I can get better if I work on it.
I love flan as I mentioned this dessert is easy to prepare and if you love oranges you will love this dessert.
Orange Flan
Ingredients
- 400 gr of Evaporated Milk About a can
- 400 gr of Condensed Milk About a can
- 3 Eggs
- 3 Egg Yolks
- A teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsps of Orange Zest
- Pinch of Salt
Caramel
- 1/2 cup of Orange Juice
- 1 cup of Sugar
Instructions
- Start with the caramel, in a pot add orange juice, sugar and let it turn into caramel then pour over your "flan molds" or Ramekins. let them get cold before you pour the batter onto it.
Flan
- In a bowl add condensed, evaporated milk, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, yolks, orange zest and integrate.
- Pass the batter trough a fine strainer( at least 4 times) the pour the batter on the Ramekins
- Bake in a water bath at 325 F 162C for 40 min or until the center is almost cooked (not too runny)
- Let them sit overnight on your fridge, then use a spatula to take them out of the ramekins and enjoy!
Notes
- Custards such as flan, get harder as they get cold if the center is not runny they are done, let them cool down and they will have "the perfect consistency" otherwise you will overcook your flan.
adding the orange juice to the caramel will add a bit more flavor to your flan.
make sure to not overbeat your batter otherwise you will end with a foamy texture. and your flan will end with a lot of “holes” caused by the bubbles created when overbeating.
When pouring the caramel into the molds, make sure the caramel covers most of the mold, in that way it will be easier to unmold.
Try this simple recipe, you will love it.
