Crème caramel (flan) - cookingwithalia.com

[AnotherAmateur]

Very nice. I didn't know that flan was an international favorite. My version uses low fat milk and fewer eggs but it comes out pretty good. Thanks for an eye-opening video!

[jesmmifs]

I would strongly suggest that you don't whisk the eggs. Just beat them lightly until they're homogenous. Make sure that they don't foam up. After adding the hit milk, pass the mixture through a sieve. When cooking, cover each cup with foil. This ensures a very smooth texture.

flan makes me drool in bliss!!

[christodouloueleni]

I have made it 2 times and it was delicious. Just 1 problem. the caramel got stuk at the bottom of the ceramic cups. any idea how this doesn't happen and the caramel gets out at the top of the cream instead? Also: I didn't had lemon for the caramel and I used tangerine instead. It worked perfectly

[cookingwithalia]

@christodouloueleni

glad you enjoyed the recipe. Some of the caramel will stay in the cups - you only get a thin layer on top of the flan. What I usually do, is flip the flan out from the cups, heat the cups (by putting the bottom in hot water or microwaving them from few seconds) then scrap the caramel out and pour it on top of the flan. hope this helps.

Can I steam it?

[uwonah]

hi can i steam it instead of baking it?

[autumnyaar]

a good tip to put the aluminum foil! the water kept boiling over horribly. :(

[TiAmuuuAmOre]

=( hmmmm... not goood....

[PumpkinCritter]

Hi, great video! I just have a couple of questions; Do you bake at 400 Celsius? and what size Ramekin did you use?

Thanks! :)

[Fanco15XXX]

Hi! I really loved your video. I'm going to make flan this week also. It's my first time. I have one question? Is it important to put flan into ceramic cups or i could put it in any where? I mean i don't have those special cups what can use in the oven. I couldn't find anything in the supermarket also.Can i use something else to actually make ready the flan? I hope that you can help me. :)

[Banisoup]

Thank you so much! You've really simplified everything and made it easy to understand. Thank you!

[DCV19]

i just made flan but am i supposed to take it out of the water as soon as it comes out of the oven?? Need help please!!!

[shacara08]

can you please add the measurements?

[plazmaRMX]

We use Vanil Ice Cream on top of that

[autumnyaar]

Oh, my husband will love to see me make this. He always eats those instant ones on the go... but homemade is much better! JazakAllah!

[genespark123]

Hi there, may i ask if 400 degree is in Celsius?

[drago4971]

i made it with cinnamon and it tasted delicious : ) i was very satisfied

[toastytoast3919]

very good!

[morockin1]

Mymom used to make this YUM!

[NikkiJanie]

I just put my flan in the fridge, and I'm wondering... What does it taste like?

[yaymeluvme123]

great vid i actually understand because some vids don't explain well. thx :)

[baghdadx]

well doen

[Arpiatje]

looks like pudding to me ;O

[funnymaster29]

u are so awesomei tried it this before and helped my mom cook it was delicous but i have a question can you make icecream any kind

ps i want banana

[cookingwithalia]

lol! banana ice cream, hein? :-)

yeah, Ice cream is a great idea, the only deal with it is you need the 'ice cream' machine so it comes out creamy (otherwise, it's too much work to keep manually stirring it every hour when you put it in the freezer). That's why I never made it... but it's a good one to have in my list.

cheers :-)

[plazmaRMX]

@funnymaster29 we use Vanil IceCream :)

[ShopBeautyMania]

If you don't have ramekins what else could you use? Once I made banana flan with muffin tins in a water bath, they came out alright tasty enough but I'd prefer not to use them again. Any tips?

[morockin1]

@ShopBeautyMania You can just make a lg one than flip and cut it.

[greenblankey]

Where do you get those special oven safe cups to cook the flan in? ;D Great recipe by the way! XD

[cookingwithalia]

you can get them anywhere (supermarket, cooking store, etc.). they are called "ramekins" or ceramic baking dishes.

hope this helps :-)

[Davide1805]

Thank you very much for the recipe, I have never tried to cook anything in my life, but for sure I'll try to make a creme caramel. It seems so easy...Hope I will succeed :) Thanks again!

[cookingwithalia]

oh you wont regret it. creme caramel is the BEST! I actually avoid making this recipe, because I am capable of eating the whole thing! it's scary :-)

let me know how it came out!

cheers :-)

[cookingwithalia]

so glad you liked it!!!

no worries about the english, YUM is a universal word :-)

cheers!

[syrianprince22]

mmm its tasty but my mom gives it a tiny middle eastren twist by adding 1 tablespoon of rose water and 1teaspoon of orange blossom water

[cookingwithalia]

rose water! great idea, I will definitely try it!!

[richthe1]

MMMMMMMMMMMMM i just had one out of the fridge but it wasnt home made that looked delicious ... :~]

[rivers81]

I was trying a different recipe for the caramel, which called for 2 oz granulated white sugar and 2 tablespoons water (no lemon juice). This took over an hour on the stove top, and it turned into hard gold brown lumps which did not liquify completely. I'm not sure if I did something incorrectly or the recipe was wrong. I will try your way next time. Also, I added a teaspoon of rose water for a Valentine's Day twist!

[cookingwithalia]

hmmm... not really sure. I use 1 cup of sugar for 1/4 cup of water. caramel is basically burnt sugar, you should put it on medium heat in the beginning and then lower the heat to be able to control the caramel color. please let me know if it works out this time. good move with the rose water!!!!

cheers

[donya1985]

Ciao Alia,

Sono Abdelati di Italia. very delicious cake, I will not wait to try it also. I tried the tajine with lamb and okra, very delicious. Thank you very much for your great efforts to enable us, we the men in special, to have a good opportunity to cook. ciaooo

[cookingwithalia]

I am so glad the tajine came out great! these flans are amazing! especially with the saffron flavor. I should not say that, but I ate 2 of the ones I made, one after the other. oops!
