Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 cups white sugar, divided
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs

Steps:

Heat 1 cup of sugar (dry) in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not stir until you start to see the sugar melting and bubbling. When the sugar is completely melted and golden brown, pour it into a 9 inch glass or ceramic pie plate and tilt to coat.
In a large bowl, mix the milk, remaining sugar, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Pour into the pie plate.
Cook in the microwave at 50% power for 7 minutes, then cook at 100% power for 8 minutes. A knife inserted into the center of the flan should come out clean when it is done. If it is not done after the 8 minutes, cook at one minute intervals, checking each time. Cool and refrigerate before serving.
To serve, warm the bottom of the pie plate over a pan of simmering water to loosen the caramelized sugar. Place a serving plate on top of the dish, and invert so that the flan is on the serving dish and the caramelized coating is on top.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 c milk
4 large eggs
2 Tbsp honey or sugar

Steps:

1. Beat together until thoroughly blended. Divide into 3 or 4 small microwave containers. Cook at 30 percent power in 600-700 watt oven or at 50 paercent power in 500-600 watt oven (1 custard 6-7 minutes, 2 custards 9-11 minutes, 3 custards 12-15 minutes, 4 custards 15-22 minutes). Turn as necessary for even cooking. Custards are done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let custard stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

For a smooth flan, use a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps from the custard mixture before cooking.
Cover the flan with plastic wrap while it is cooking to prevent a skin from forming on top.
Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help it to set properly.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert it onto a plate.
Flan can be garnished with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Microwave flan is a delicious and easy dessert that can be made in just a few minutes. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give microwave flan a try!
