Honey Flan Recipe: A Deliciously Sweet Dessert
Looking for a dessert that's both sweet and satisfying? Look no further than this delicious Honey Flan recipe! Made with a creamy custard base and a drizzle of honey, this dessert is sure to please even the most discerning sweet tooth.
Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Tips:
- Be sure to use room temperature eggs for the best results.
- When adding the honey, be sure to whisk it in thoroughly to avoid any lumps.
- To prevent the flan from sticking to the pan, be sure to grease it well before pouring in the custard mixture.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, milk, and honey over medium heat until the honey has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
5. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
6. Pour the custard mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish.
7. Place the baking dish in a larger baking dish or roasting pan and fill the larger dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
10. Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
11. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Invert the flan onto a serving platter and drizzle with additional honey, if desired.
