How to make Egg and Vanilla Flan:
- Prepare everything you need to start making the homemade flan.
- Preparation: in half a cup of milk we dissolve the 3 tablespoons of cornstarch (cornstarch).
- Put the rest of the milk (2 cups) to boil with the cinnamon sticks (just a little cinnamon).
Tip: If we don’t have cinnamon sticks, we can use a pinch of cinnamon powder.
- You put the eggs to blend (I put 5 eggs because they were small), half a bar of Philadelphia-type cream cheese, a little sugar (4 tablespoons) and the essence of vanilla (3 tablespoons), to continue with the preparation of the homemade flan.
- In a bowl or bowl, we mix what we blended in the previous step (Philadelphia, vanilla, eggs, sugar) with the milk and the cornstarch (cornstarch) until it is a very well mixed mixture, smooth and without lumps.
- We put 3/8 cup of sugar (85 grams) over medium heat, without moving, until it caramelizes. Once finished, we fill the base of our flan mold with the caramel.
Tip: We can also use individual molds.
- Fill our mold with the mixture of egg flan and cornstarch.
- Once stuffed, cover with aluminum foil and boil in a bain-marie for approximately 30 minutes.
- Ready! Let the egg and vanilla flan cool, refrigerate for another 30 minutes and taste as said. Enjoy your meal.
