July 11, 2007 French style flan dessert. To create a sundae-like look, pipe a generous amount of whipped cream on top of and/or on the side of the flan, then garnish with chocolate sauce, colored sprinkles and bananas. You can also bake and serve the flan in ceramic cups or ramekins.

●Preparation Tip ●Flan Photo #1 Photo #2 Photo #3 Combine cream and milk in a saucepan. Heat the mixture until lukewarm. In a bowl, cream together eggs and sugar. (Photo #1) Stir in the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture and blend. Pass the mixture through a sieve once. (Photo #2) Pour the mixture into molds. Place them in a baking pan, then fill the pan with hot water. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C (320 °F) for about 15 to 20 minutes. You can test doneness by gently pushing the center of the custard with wet fingers. They are done when they are firm and the custard doesn’t stick to your fingers.
