Honey & Citrus Flan
- Serves 6
- Preptime: 10 min
- Cook time: 40 min
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 6 tbsp honey, separated
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tin (385g) condensed milk
- 10 orange segments
- 10 grapefruit segments
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- Salt
Method:
- In a saucepan combine the sugar and water, cook until a dark caramel has formed. Immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of 6 ramekins, set aside and allow to cool.
- In a bowl combine the milk, condensed milk, 4 tbsp honey, eggs, egg yolk and a pinch of salt. Mix this very well, strain through a sieve and then pour evenly into the ramekins.
- Place the ramekins into a deep dish and create a water bath, going half way up the side of the ramekins. Bake in the oven for 40 min at 180˚C or until the flans have cooked through and are no longer liquid. If you shake the tray they should still have a slight wobble.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temp, then cool in fridge for 2 hours.
- In a saucepan combine orange segments, grapefruit segments, vanilla and 2 tbsp honey. Cook to allow the honey to reduce slightly and stick to the citrus.
- Unmold the flans onto individual plates with the caramel sauce around them. Spoon a few of the honey citrus slices over the top of each flan and serve.
