🍮 Vanilla Flan Ingredients½ cup granulated sugar (for the caramelized base)1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk4 large eggs1 tsp vanilla extractA pinch of salt Toppings½ cup chocolate syrup or warm chocolate ganache¼ cup heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)1 maraschino cherry with a stem Step-by-Step Instructions1. Melt the CaramelHeat the granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until completely melted and deep golden brown.Quickly pour the hot caramel into individual ramekins or a 7-inch flan mold, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom. Allow it to cool and harden completely.2. Blend and Strain the CustardAdd the evaporated milk, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt into a blender. Blend at medium speed until completely smooth.Pour the blended liquid through a fine-mesh strainer straight over the hardened caramel to eliminate air bubbles and ensure a perfectly silky texture.3. Bake in a Water BathArrange the flan molds inside a larger baking pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the molds.Cover the molds tightly with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is slightly jiggly.4. Chill and FlipRemove the molds from the water bath and let them cool down to room temperature.Transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours.Run a thin knife around the inside edge of each mold, place a serving plate face-down on top, and quickly flip to release the flan.5. Add the ToppingsGenerously drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top so it drips beautifully down the sides of the custard.Spoon or pipe a rosette of whipped cream right in the center.Place a clean, dry maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream to finish. #feet #recipes #fyp #sweet #flan - @aurieyayu
