Time P1DT1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
2 1/2 cups sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup key lime juice
2 tablespoons key lime zest (lime can substituted)
1 teaspoon orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 whole eggs
1 egg yolk
Pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Special Equipment: 9-inch cake pan or molds
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Caramel: In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium heat Stir with a wooden spoon, until a pale brown color develops. Remove from the heat, and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour into the cake pan, evenly coating the entire bottom. The caramel is extremely hot, so be careful when pouring it into the cake pan or molds.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the condensed milk, the milk, the lime juice and zest, orange liqueur, and vanilla. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring throughout to combine flavors.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and yolk together, then slowly temper into the milk mixture, constantly stirring the eggs into the warmed milk. Slowly incorporating the eggs will keep the eggs from scrambling. Pour milk mixture over the caramel in cake pan. Put the cake pan into a larger shallow vessel filled halfway up with water. Put the dish into the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove the flan from oven and let cool. Refrigerate the flan overnight. To remove the flan from the pan, put the pan into a shallow container with about 1-inch of warm water. Let sit for about 10 minutes, which will soften the caramel and make it easier to remove.
  • Invert the flan onto a platter and serve.

This flan was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm a big fan of flan and this recipe did not disappoint. The caramel sauce was rich and flavorful, and the flan itself was creamy and smooth. I will definitely be making this again.

I had some trouble unmolding the flan, but it still turned out looking beautiful. I think I'll try using a different pan next time.

I'm not a fan of caramel, so I omitted it from the recipe. The flan was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with the caramel sauce.

I had some trouble finding key limes, so I used regular limes instead. The flan still turned out well, but it didn't have the same bright flavor.

The flan was a bit runny, even after I chilled it for several hours. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of flan, but this recipe changed my mind. The caramel sauce was rich and flavorful, and the key lime filling was tart and refreshing. I loved the contrast between the two flavors.
