Ingredients (serves 6):

For the flan:

- 1 cup passion fruit juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


For the caramel:

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh passion fruit juice for the best flavor.
- Be sure to strain the passion fruit juice to remove any seeds or pulp.
- When making the caramel, be careful not to burn it. Keep a close eye on it as it cooks.
Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the passion fruit juice, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Slowly pour the passion fruit mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
6. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water for the caramel. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
7. Increase the heat to high and cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
8. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch flan dish, swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
9. Pour the passion fruit mixture into the flan dish.
10. Place the flan dish in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set.
12. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
13. Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
14. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Invert the flan onto a serving plate and serve chilled.
