What is Flan Custard Pudding
Flan is a baked pastry that is filled with a sweet custard. It’s a Spanish dessert, but it’s also popular in Mexico and the Philippines. Flan comes in different flavors: vanilla, chocolate, coconut and mango are some of the most common varieties. Flan Custard Pudding is just flan with custard as an additional filling! Flan Custard Pudding is a delicious dessert that can be made in under an hour. The baking process is easy, and you will feel like you’re enjoying a day at the beach because of how cool it looks.
Flan is a baked pastry made with egg yolks and milk or cream. The custard can be flavored by adding fruit juice (such as lemon or orange), vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, coffee extract, or other ingredients before baking for about an hour at 350°F (180°C).
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation.
- Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until well, combined.
- Transfer to a pot and heat until the mixture is bubbling, stirring constantly. Be careful not to let it boil over!
- Step 2: Pour into baking dish. You can use any size you like, but I recommend using something with at least 3 inches of height because that’s how much custard you’re going to pour in there! Place on your countertop until cool enough to touch (about 5 minutes).
- Step 3: Whisk together mixture from previous step with eggs in large bowl until combined well (about 3 minutes). Pour egg mixture over cooled custard base in baking dish; cover/seal tightly with plastic wrap touching surface of liquid to prevent loss of moisture during cooking process (this will ensure smooth texture).
- Refrigerate overnight before proceeding with next step; refrigerate up two days if necessary but not longer than three days total time frame allowed due otherwise risk spoiling contents inside refrigerator due possible bacterial growth if kept too long without proper refrigeration temperatures being maintained properly throughout entire duration required.
Cooking Notes
- Don’t let the custard boil
- Don’t let the custard curdle
- Don’t let the custard thicken too much
- Don’t let the custard cool down too much
Pro Tip
In order to prevent the egg yolks from curdling when you’re making a custard, you have to stir the mixture constantly over low heat until it thickens. The reason I’m telling you this is because I’ve had a lot of readers who have written in and said that their custard didn’t set properly.
If it’s not done cooking after 10 minutes, keep going! It will eventually come together. Just don’t let the mixture boil or burn. If your pudding does overcook a little bit, just add more water or milk until it reaches a nice creamy consistency again (and then start checking for doneness more frequently).
This Flan Custard Pudding is best to serve with
- Fresh fruits. A good pairing for this dessert would be fresh berries, mangoes or peaches. You can also top it with whipped cream and coconut milk.
- Coconut milk and cocoa powder drizzled over the top of the flan custard pudding. The chocolate flavor enhances the caramel, like taste of the custard below that makes your mouth water even more!
The recipe for this sweet dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups milk, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
- 5 eggs, separated into yolks and whites; reserve the whites for the meringue topping.
However if you prefer keeping these delicious treats refrigerated before serving simply place them inside airtight containers lined with parchment paper first then fill containers second with plastic wrap pressing down firmly on top layer so edges stick without bunching up inside container again making sure there aren’t any gaps between layers where moisture could leak through causing spoilage over time (this issue only applies if using plastic wrap instead of foil pouches).
As far as sweeteners go most people go with granulated sugar but brown sugar makes a nice caramelized crust on top while honey adds an earthy sweetness that really kicks up the flavor profile. And finally eggs are crucial to give structure and moisture to the bread without making it tough or chewy—they bind everything together into one delicious morsel of treat!
