This original Mexican recipe for flan napolitano is an incredibly rich and creamy creme caramel, a type of custard, that is steamed instead of baked.
Ingredients:
1 can of condensed milk
2 cups of milk
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract *Candy
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of water
Preparation:
In a saucepan, place the sugar and cook over medium heat until melted and golden. Then lower the heat and gradually add the water, stirring constantly. Some sugar cubes will form, so you must stir a lot until it melts.
After the sugar cubes have melted well, turn off the heat and place the caramel in a bowl. The caramel will be very liquid, but when it cools it will be very thick. When the caramel is very cold, caramelize the flan mold.
For the flan, beat the egg whites and set aside. In the blender place the condensed milk, the egg yolks, the milk and the vanilla essence.
Beat for 2 minutes and pour into a bowl. Go putting the whites and mixing gently until they are added. Pour the mixture in caramelized form.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC in a bain-marie for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Unmold and refrigerate for 3 hours.
