Leche Flan (Steamed Crème Caramel)
Ingredients:
Custard:
Custard:
10 pieces large Eggs
1 small can Condensed Milk
1 cup low-fat Fresh Milk
1 tsp pure Vanilla Extract
Caramel:
8 tbsp dark Brown Sugar4 tbsp Water
1/4 tsp Lemon Zest or Lemon Extract
1/4 tsp Lemon Zest or Lemon Extract
Instructions:
Prepare the steamer. Pour the water in the steamer, and cover with the lid.
To make the Custard,
In a big bowl, crack-in the eggs separating the yolk from the egg white (only egg yolks will be used).
Beat the yolks using a fork or an egg beater.
Add-in the condensed milk and mix thoroughly.
Pour-in the fresh milk and mix well to combine. Set aside.
To make the Caramel,
In a shallow pan at medium heat, add-in the brown sugar, water and lemon zest.
Stir the mixture and cook until the sugar melts (turns into caramel) and begins to boil.
When it starts to really thicken, immediately pour the sugar on the custard mold.
Divide it evenly between the molds (if using more than 1).
Spread it until it covers the bottom of the molds.
Wait for 2 minutes then pour the custard mixture on the mold with a strainer to remove air bubbles.
Cover the top of the mold with an aluminum foil, and cover the steamer with the lid.
Steam the custard mixture for 30~35 minutes.
After steaming, let the temperature cool down by cooling completely on a rack and then refrigerate.
*Overnight refrigeration is recommended. The leche flan will firm up more and will taste even better as you leave it overnight in the fridge.
To serve, run a thin knife around the mold and then invert onto a plate. Serve for dessert.
Share and Enjoy such creamy deliciousness!
