Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup milk
4 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup small pearl tapioca
2 cups heavy cream
2 large eggs
2 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch white pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine milk, 1 cup water and garlic, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, then drain garlic and pat dry.
  • Place garlic in a baking pan, and drizzle with the oil. Roast until garlic is soft and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare tapioca. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add tapioca, and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and rinse well under cold running water.
  • When garlic is roasted, transfer it to a large bowl and mash it with a fork; leave the oven on. Add cream, eggs, egg whites, honey, salt, nutmeg, white pepper and cayenne to the bowl, and mix well. Stir in the cooked tapioca.
  • Ladle custard into eight 4-ounce ramekins. Place a roasting pan in oven, add ramekins, and fill pan with very hot tap water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake flans for 1 hour, until centers are set.
  • Remove flans to a wire rack, and let cool for 20 minutes. To serve, run a knife around the sides of each ramekin, and then invert them onto serving plates. Serve as an accompaniment to lamb or beef.

I'm not a big fan of garlic, but I'm curious about how it tastes in this flan. I might give it a try.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a kitchen torch. Do you think I could use a regular oven to caramelize the sugar on top?

I had some trouble getting the flan to set properly. I think I may have overcooked it slightly.

This flan is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This flan was a bit more time-consuming to make than I expected, but it was worth the effort. The roasting of the garlic and the cooking of the tapioca both take some time, but the end result is a delicious and impressive dessert.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the tapioca worked in this recipe. It added a nice textural contrast to the smooth custard and helped to thicken it up slightly.

The roasted garlic adds a unique twist to this classic dessert, giving it a subtle yet distinct flavor. It's not overpowering, but it definitely elevates the flan to a new level.
