Ingredients (serves 6):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Tips:
- Use a high-quality maple syrup for the best flavor.
- Be sure to let the flan cool completely before serving to allow it to set properly.
- To make the flan extra creamy, use a combination of heavy cream and whole milk.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and maple syrup over medium heat until just simmering.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
6. Pour the mixture into six 6-ounce ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins in a 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 flan is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
10. Chill the flan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
