Cinnamon Flan image

A flan is a very popular and traditional dish from Spain, but enjoyed everywhere now. It is traditionally flavoured with vanilla, but this one has a little twist with the cinnamon, also popular in Spain. There is quite a bit of cooling time that's not in the prep. time so please read the recipe before you prepare it. Enjoy!

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 1/4 cups low-fat milk
3/4 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
2 cinnamon sticks (3-inch pieces)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
orange peel, 1 1-inch wide strip
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 egg white, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Arrange rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine sugar and water in a medium heavy-bottom saucepan.Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden, 12-15 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into a deep dish pie glass plate; tilt the pan to evenly coat. Set aside until cool and hard, 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the low fat milk, condensed milk, cinnamon sticks and orange peel in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until almost simmering. Remove from heat; let stand 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks and peel. Beat the eggs and egg whites in a bowl. Whisk in the milk mixture until combined. Pour into the pie plate.
  • Set the flan in a roasting pan and fill with enough water to come halfway up the side of the pie plate. Bake until the custard is set but jiggle in the centre, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to a rack; let cool 1 hour. Refrigerate the flan for at least 3 hours.
  • To unmold, run the tip of a knife around the edge of the flan. Invert a large, flat plate on top of the flan and flip it over. Lift off the pie plate. Cut the flan into wedges and serve.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made this flan with almond milk and egg replacer. It turned out great! The texture was a bit different, but it was still very good.

This flan is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before and it was even better the next day. The cinnamon flavor really came through after it had time to chill.

This flan was a disaster. The texture was grainy, and the cinnamon flavor was overpowering. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this flan was just okay. The texture was a bit too dense for my liking, and the cinnamon flavor was a bit too strong. I probably won't be making this again.

This flan was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The texture was perfect, and the cinnamon flavor was nice. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of flan, but this recipe changed my mind. The cinnamon flavor is subtle but really adds something special. The texture is also perfect - not too dense or too light.
