TURKISH FLAN

Ian Kennard & Kent Van Dyk, Willie’s Cafe


The following recipe is a variation on traditional Creme Caramel. It produces a slightly denser and richer Flan that is very popular at Willie’s.
  • Caramel
  • 1cup white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup water

In a heavy saucepan heat sugar and ½ cup water over medium heat until caramelized (dark brown, but not burnt). Remove from heat and carefully add ¼ cup water, return to heat and boil briefly. Pour into six 8 oz ramekins or a small bunt pan sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate until hard.


Flan
  • 4 ½ ounce cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • pinch salt
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 1 can milk, use empty sweetened condensed milk can

In a large bowl with a hand blender or in a mixer combine ingredients one at a time in above order making sure they are blended and smooth between each ingredient. Pour into ramekins or bunt pan over caramel sauce. Place in a water bath* and bake covered with foil in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 45 min. Reduce heat to 325 degrees, remove foil and bake another 45 min. Flan should be firm and a knife inserted should come out clean. Refrigerate until completely cool. To remove from ramekins or pan, soak in hot water 5 min, run knife around edge and invert onto plate.

Enjoy!


* Water Bath: a shallow baking dish filled with enough hot water to come 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins or bunt pan.
