Recipe by Chef Chris Valdes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup of Sugar (For Caramel candy)
- 5 Whole eggs
- 2 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 (12 fluid oz) can evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Dark Rum
- 1/2 Cup of Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Corn Starch (dissolved in 1 tablespoon Water)
- Cherry’s, peaches, and or strawberries for garnish
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350f degrees
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt sugar until liquefied and golden in color, about 15 minutes. Carefully pour hot syrup onto a 9 inch round glass baking dish or flan mold, turning the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, mix eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, rum, and sugar until smooth. Add the Dissolved Corn starch. Pour egg mixture onto caramelized sugar flan mold.
- Place the flan mold onto a larger baking pan and pour water to reach a depth of an inch. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the center is set.
- Remove flan mold from baking dish and let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight.
- To unmold, run a thin rubber spatula around the edges of the flan and then invert onto a plate. Garnish with cherry’s, strawberry’s, peaches, or chocolate.
To serve, carefully invert on serving plate with edges when completely cool. Decorate.
