Do You Have 1 Orange and Milk? Make This Delicious Dessert! A New Way to Eat Flan with Few Ingredients


 

Ingredients

1 large orange

2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt


Preparation

Prepare the Orange:

Zest the Orange: Start by zesting the orange. Set the zest aside.

Juice the Orange: Cut the orange in half and squeeze out the juice. You should get about 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice.


Prepare the Flan Mixture:

Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange zest, orange juice, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.


Mix and Strain:

Blend the Mixture: Gradually add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Strain: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to ensure a smooth texture.


Prepare the Baking Dish:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Pour Mixture: Pour the strained mixture into individual ramekins or a large flan dish.


Bake the Flan:

Water Bath: Place the ramekins or flan dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the baking pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.


Cool and Serve:

Cool: Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.

Serve: To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert it onto a plate. Enjoy your creamy, citrusy flan!

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Consistent Mixing: Make sure to whisk continuously when adding the warm milk to the egg mixture to avoid curdling.

Smooth Texture: Straining the mixture before baking ensures a smooth and creamy flan.

Optional Sweetness: If you prefer a slightly sweeter dessert, the addition of honey or maple syrup adds natural sweetness without refined sugar.

CONCLUSION

This simple and delicious flan recipe using orange and milk is a fantastic way to enjoy a healthy dessert with minimal ingredients. It’s easy to make, naturally sweetened, and bursting with citrus flavor. Give this recipe a try, and you’ll have a new favorite way to enjoy flan. Happy cooking!


Enjoy!
