Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup milk
2 medium-size ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon white rum
1 tablespoon banana liqueur (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for greasing custard cups
1 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in light syrup, thawed
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dry white wine or water
12 fresh raspberries
4 mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, beat the whole eggs, egg yolk and sugar together with a wire whisk. Add the lemon juice, heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk and combine well.
  • Put the bananas and milk into the container of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or into a blender, and puree. Add this to the egg-and-sugar mixture in the bowl. Then add the rum, banana liqueur (if used) and the vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
  • Lightly grease each of four 10-ounce custard cups. Pour the flan mixture in equal amounts into the cups.
  • Put the cups into a baking pan with three-inch sides. Pour warm water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cups.
  • Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the custard is set. (The custard is done when the thin blade of a knife comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the flan.)
  • Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry puree. In a food processor or blender, puree the thawed raspberries with their syrup. Strain through a fine sieve and mix in the sugar and wine. Set aside.
  • When the flans are cooked, remove them from the water and let rest for five minutes.
  • To serve the flan warm, invert each custard cup onto a dessert plate and shake once to release. Spoon equal amounts of the raspberry sauce around each flan. Garnish the top of each with three raspberries and a mint leaf. To serve the flans cold, let them cool for 30 minutes, cover and refrigerate for several hours. Cover the raspberry sauce and chill as well. At serving time, assemble the dish as described above.

LEMON BASIL FLAN WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE



LEMON BASIL FLAN WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE image

Categories     Citrus     Fruit     Dessert     Bake     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 6 individual flans

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs + 2 yolks
1/2 c. sugar
2 c. heavy cream
Zest of 1/2 lemon†
5-6 large fresh basil leaves (washed)
Pinch of salt
1/2 c. seedless black raspberry preserves‡
1/4 c. sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
†Use a vegetable peeler to carve several large strips of zest from the lemon.
‡If you've only got seeded, pass the sauce through a strainer into a bowl when you are finished cooking it.

Steps:

  • Boil a kettle of water. Once it boils, keep it hot (not boiling) until you are ready to use it. Preheat oven to 325°. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt together 1/4 c. sugar with the raspberry preserves, stirring constantly. When the mixture is completely liquid, add the lemon juice. Allow the sauce to bubble rapidly, stirring until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the cream, vanilla, and lemon zest. Stir gently and bring to a light simmer. As soon as the cream simmers, add the basil leaves and cook for another five minutes, or until the cream is lightly fragrant with the lemon and basil. Strain and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 c. sugar, and salt until light yellow and thick. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the egg mixture, taking care to do this carefully so the eggs do not cook in the bowl. Once combined, strain the custard into a separate bowl. You may find that it is easiest to strain into a container that has a pour spout. Spoon the raspberry sauce evenly so that it coats the bottoms of 6 ramekins. Swirl the ramekins gently to coat a little up the sides. Pour the custard evenly into the ramekins. Set the flans inside a roasting pan or casserole dish, then pour the hot water from the kettle into the casserole until it is about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Put the casserole dish of flans on the middle rack of the oven and bake approximately 40 minutes, or until just set and still a little jiggly. Remove the casserole, allow the flan to cool in the water bath until you can handle it with your bare hands, then transfer the individual ramekins to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a small, non-serrated knife around the edge of each flan, put a plate upside-down on top of it, and flip over.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have a more intense flavor than frozen or canned raspberries. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Make sure the raspberry filling is thick enough. The raspberry filling should be thick enough to hold its shape when spooned. If the filling is too thin, it will not set properly and will be runny. To thicken the filling, you can add more cornstarch or cook it for a longer period of time.
  • Chill the flan before serving. Chilling the flan allows it to set properly and develop its full flavor. You can chill the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve the flan with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. Fresh raspberries and whipped cream add a delicious and elegant touch to the flan. You can also serve the flan with other toppings, such as chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or fruit coulis.

Conclusion:

Raspberry flan is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a creamy custard filling, a sweet raspberry sauce, and a buttery crust. The flan is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. Whether you are serving it to guests or enjoying it yourself, raspberry flan is sure to impress.
