backup

Flan & Flan it will be for hubbys cake tomorrow.
My tester Tres Leches Cake was a no go.
Hubby & I ate some but the kids wouldn't touch it.
I may not know how to bake like I posted yesterday but I sure can make a Flan.
I'll even share 2 recipes with you :)


heat oven to 350
fill a 9x13 backing dish half way with water and place in oven to start heating
use either recipe they still cook the same

Hubbys favorite way~

Get out your blender and add in
4 eggs
1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 pkg cream cheese
dash vanilla extract
Blend

My favorite way~
Get out your blender and add in
5 eggs
1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 can table cream
dash vanilla extract
Blend


Back to cooking-

in a pot melt & stir 1 cup sugar,
once melted and a caramel brown in color pour into an 8x8 baking dish
pour milk mixture on top of caramel
place 8x8 dish into 9x13 water filled dish
bake 45mins
then test the texture with a knife, it should slide out clean, add a few minutes if needed, top will be a golden brown.
once done take out of water bath and set aside to cool, slide a knife around the 4 edges and give it a jiggle, the caramel should rise into the sliced edges.
after two/three hours flip it onto a serving plate (place a plate onto dish hold closed tightly and flip over)
there will be loose caramel, keep in on the flan in the serving plate, its super yummy, cover and refrigerate till ready to eat.
Serve cold & enjoy!
