Mango Flan

Ingredients:

2 Eggs
3/4 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 Cup Condensed Milk (can be substituted with 1/2 Cup Milk + 1/2 Cup Sugar)
3/4 Cup Mango Puree
1 Tablespoon Lemon zest
1 Tablespoon pure Vanilla Extract

For Caramel:

1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Butter
1/2 Teaspoon Lime Juice (Optional)

Method: Making the Caramel: Lightly coat the baking dish with butter. Place the sugar and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan. Put on medium-low heat and boil until the color becomes a clear golden brown; occasionally swirl the saucepan over the heat. When it has reached the golden color, immediately pour this caramel into the baking dish that you’ll be baking the flan in. Completely cover the bottom and a bit of the sides of this baking dish. Set aside. If you want small individual servings of the flan, pour the caramel in the small baking dishes or ramekins. Making the Flan: Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel and cut the mangoes into pieces. Use a blender to purée the pieces. Put this purée through a sieve to separate and remove the fibers. Set the mango purée aside. In a blender, add Eggs, Condensed Milk, Milk, Lemon zest, Vanilla Extract & Mango Puree & blend to a smooth consistency. Pass this milk mixture through a sieve into another large mixing bowl. Whisk till there are no streaky colors. Pour this flan mixture into the baking dish. Cover the dish with a foil tightly or a lid. Place the baking dish into a larger baking pan. Carefully add hot water to that pan, until the water reaches about half-way up the sides of the flan baking dish, making sure no water will enter the dish. Place the pan into the oven, and bake for about an hour. After 1 hour, check for doneness by inserting a dinner knife or a toothpick into the center of the flan. If it doesn’t come out clean, bake for about 10 or 15 minutes more, checking every few minutes.

Cooling the Flan: When done, remove the flan baking dish to cool on a wire rack. When the flan has cooled down completely, place in the refrigerator & chill for a few hours before getting to serve. Serve with Mango Slices & Cream if you want.

Happy Cooking!
