If you're looking for a unique and flavorful dessert, look no further than Earl Grey Flan. This creamy and indulgent dessert is infused with the delicate and aromatic flavor of Earl Grey tea, making it a perfect treat for tea lovers.
Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Tips:
- Use a high-quality Earl Grey tea for the best flavor.
- Be sure to strain the custard mixture before pouring it into the ramekins to remove any tea leaves or lumps.
- To prevent the flan from cracking, be sure to let it cool completely before removing it from the ramekins.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream and milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let steep for 10 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
4. Remove the tea bags from the cream mixture and slowly pour it into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
6. Divide the custard mixture evenly among six 6-ounce ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
11. To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a plate.
