CARAMEL RICE FLAN

In Catalonia, many of the rice dishes are made with short grain rice. The pillowy texture of the short grains reminds me of tapioca, with a grainier bite. Short grain rice is also starchier than long grain, which helps the eggs bind the custard. Combining whole eggs and yolks would make the flan rich and light.

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter or cooking spray for the soufflé dish
2/3 cup Arborio rice
4 3/4 cups milk
2 3-inch cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons cardamom pods, cracked with the side of a knife
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Lightly butter, or use cooking spray, on a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish (preferably nonstick). In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in rice and cook for 15 minutes. Drain, then add rice to a medium saucepan with 4 cups of the milk, the cinnamon sticks and the ground cardamom. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the rice is very tender. Drain away any milk that has not been absorbed, then put rice into a medium bowl and stir in the lemon zest.
  • To make the custard, in a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, combine the remaining 3/4 cup milk, the cardamom pods and the cream. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, yolks, salt and 1/3 cup of the sugar. When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, slowly ladle it into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture through a strainer back into the pan (discarding cardamom), then stir in the rice.
  • To make the caramel, in a heavy small saucepan stir together the remaining cup of sugar and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat for 5 to 8 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally, until the mixture turns a honey-amber shade. Immediately pour into the soufflé dish, swirling to make sure the caramel coats about 3/4 of the height of the dish.
  • Without waiting for the caramel to harden, immediately pour the rice mixture into the caramel-coated soufflé dish. Fill a large roasting pan halfway with very hot tap water, and place the soufflé dish in the roasting pan. Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and punch several holes in the foil in the corners of the roasting pan. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for about 2 hours (start checking after 1 hour and 45 minutes) or until the custard is set around the edges but the center still jiggles slightly. Remove dish from the water bath, cool on a rack, then refrigerate until set and cold, at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  • To serve, place the soufflé dish in a large bowl filled with enough boiling water to come halfway up the side of the soufflé dish. Let stand for 20 minutes, dry the bottom of the soufflé dish, then run a knife around the edge of the custard and turn it out onto a platter. (It will stick and not look picture perfect.) Serve with a spoon.

CARAMEL FLAN



Caramel Flan image

This pudim de leche is a Brazilian take on flan.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes 1 eight-inch flan

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/3 cups milk
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Fill a roasting pan with 2 inches of water. Transfer to oven; preheat to 325 degrees. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside.
  • Cook sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly and washing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming, until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking until sugar turns a deep caramel color. Immediately dip bottom of pan in ice-water bath, then pour caramel into an 8-inch round cake pan.
  • Blend condensed milk, milk, and eggs in a blender until smooth. Pour into cake pan. Transfer to roasting pan, placing it in the water. Bake flan until just set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer flan to a wire rack to cool. Chill 6 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Just before serving, run a knife around edge of flan. Set a serving plate over pan; invert. Spoon sauce from pan over flan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. Short-grain rice, such as Japanese or Arborio rice, is the best choice for this recipe. These types of rice have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy and custard-like texture.
  • Cook the rice properly. Be sure to rinse the rice well before cooking. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
  • Use whole milk. Whole milk will give the flan a richer and creamier flavor. If you don't have whole milk, you can use a combination of milk and heavy cream.
  • Don't overcook the flan. The flan is done when it is just set in the center. If you overcook it, it will become rubbery.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent it from breaking.

Conclusion:

Caramel rice flan is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy and custard-like texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give caramel rice flan a try!
