LECHE FLAN (FILIPINO CREME CARAMEL)

Steps:

• Start heating water in a steaming pot.

FLAN DE LECHE

Steps:

• Make caramel: Pour 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water into a saucepan, preferably one that is white or light-colored inside. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, swirling the pan to combine the sugar and water. Do not stir. Let boil until deep amber in color, swirling the pan occasionally to caramelize evenly, about 10 minutes total. Watch the pan carefully after the mixture starts turning golden; it will quickly become light brown, then amber, then dark amber.
• Immediately pour caramel into a 9- by -5-inch loaf pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a saucepan or microwaveable bowl or pitcher, combine milk, lemon zest, salt and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar. Over low heat or in the microwave, heat through, stirring to melt the sugar. Set aside.
• In a blender (or using a hand blender in a pitcher), combine eggs, egg yolks and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
• Remove the lemon zest strips from the hot milk mixture. With the blender running, gradually pour the milk mixture into the eggs. Go very slowly at first so that the eggs don't cook from the heat of the milk. Blend just until smooth. Pour egg-milk mixture into the caramel-lined pan.
• Place a 9- by- 13-inch baking dish in the lower third of oven. Carefully place the loaf pan in the baking dish. Pour hot tap water into the baking dish until it comes about halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. (Don't worry if the oven seems to be losing heat; the flan will adjust.)
• Bake 55 to 65 minutes, until flan is set but still jiggly in the center. Remove flan from water bath and cool on a rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate, uncovered, until cold and firm, at least 8 hours or up to 3 days. The caramel will soften as it sits.
• To unmold, run a thin sharp knife around the edges. Center a flat-bottomed platter or serving dish with a rim on top of the pan and, holding both, carefully flip the pan and plate together. The flan will fall onto the plate with a squelch; lift off the pan and let the caramel run all over the top. (If the flan doesn't come out, flip it back over and rest the bottom of the pan on a hot wet kitchen towel for a few minutes, to melt the caramel.) Serve chilled, in slices.

CARAMEL IN A CAN (DULCE DE LECHE)

Steps:

• Remove label from the can of condensed milk. Place unopened can in a 3 1/2- to 4 1/2-quart slow cooker. Pour water into the slow cooker until the can is completely covered with water. Put lid on the slow cooker.
• Cook on High for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, making sure the can is always covered with water. Remove hot can with tongs; allow to cool until safe to handle, at least 25 minutes. Open can and pour contents into a lidded bowl. Stir in vanilla extract.

EASY CARAMEL FLAN (CREME CARAMEL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Brown sugar in a saucepan till a medium dark golden brown, but not burnt and then QUICKLY transfer to the bottom of a pie plate(you may add a few tablespoons of water to help it melt).
• In a large bowl beat the eggs and then add the 2 cans of milk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
• Pour mixture into pie plate.
• Using a larger pan that the pie plate will fit in, fill half way with the boiling water, place in oven, and then place pie plate in the middle of the large pan.
• Bake for approximately 45 - 55 minutes. The center should be soft and firm but not liquidly.
• Let cool and then after running a knife around the edge to seperate, flip over onto a serving dish.

EASY CHAI CREME CARAMEL (AKA CHAI FLAN DE LECHE)

Steps:

• Divide caramel sauce equally into ramekins, one for each serving. Make sure a thin coat of caramel covers the bottom of each ramekin. Set these aside.
• Dissolve contents of custard mix into 125mL of milk and whisk until blended.
• Put remaining milk and whole spices in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Reduce heat slightly and add custard mixture, whisking vigorously.
• Bring just to a boil again, and keep stirring so no lumps form. The allow to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Skim spices out of liquid. (Or pour mixture through small mesh strainer in the next step.).
• Gently pour liquid into ramekins, making sure not to disturb the caramel coating the base of each one.
• Chill ramekins until set. (This takes approximately 45 minutes in my refridgerator.)
• Remove ramekins from refridgerator. Put a serving plate against top of a ramekin, , hold them together, and flip them upside down in a fast motion so the creme caramel flops out of the ramekin and onto the serving plate. Let it sit for a minute to allow the caramel to run over the custard before removing ramekin. Repeat this for each serving. (This is quite easy and the result looks impressive.).
• Enjoy!

CHAI CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat cream in a 1-quart, covered saucepan over medium heat until scalded, 4 to 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the cream should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
• Add tea bags, ginger, cinnamon stick, cardamom, and cloves. Turn off the heat, cover, and steep for 5 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks, 3 tablespoons plus 1 3/4 teaspoon sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl until combined and sugar has dissolved.
• Strain tea bags, cinnamon stick, and ginger from the cream, extracting as much cream as possible from the tea bags.
• Pour some of the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk until custard is thick and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide custard evenly among four 4-ounce ramekins. Place ramekins in a paper towel-lined baking pan. Pour hot water into the baking pan until halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set around the edges and jiggles slightly in the center when gently shaken, 45 to 50 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar over each ramekin, shaking gently to cover the surface evenly. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until all crystals are evenly melted. Allow surface to harden before serving.

LECHE FLAN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the granulated sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts into an amber-colored caramel, 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the sugar is fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the caramel into a 9 x 5-inch (22x12 cm) loaf pan. Let the caramel cool for 5 minutes while you make the custard.
• Add the egg yolks and condensed milk to a large bowl and whisk to combine, then add the evaporated milk and lemon extract and whisk to incorporate.
• Pour the custard into the pan with the caramel. Cover the pan with foil.
• Set the loaf pan in a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish and carefully pour the boiling water into the baking dish, taking care not to splash any into the flan.
• Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the flan is fully set.
• Remove the flan from the oven, lift the loaf pan from the water bath, and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for overnight.
• When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the flan, then invert onto a platter, slice, and serve.
• Enjoy!
