Kem Flan

I was going for a Vietnamese food theme tonight, and since my oven quit working, I couldn't make the pie that I wanted to. My quest for dessert became a little easier to decide when I remembered I had just bought a flan pan and thought I should use it.  My husband really likes flan.  This flan is the Vietnamese version.  If you don't already know, flan is a custard based dessert that has a wonderful caramelized sugar topping.

 The caramelized sugar and creamy texture are truly divine!

Ingredients for this Recipe Are:

Caramel:

1/2 cup Cane Sugar

Flan:

6 Eggs

6 Egg Yolks

1 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk

14 oz Milk

14 oz Hot Water

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Pour sugar into small saucepan over high flame on stove.

Cook and stir sugar with wooden spoon until sugar begins to bubble and caramelize.

Remove pan from stove and pour sugar into a 1.5 Quart Flan pan, 9 inch square pan, or oven safe oval baking dish.

Mix eggs and egg yolks together with a whisk in a bowl.

Pour condensed milk in a bowl.  Add hot water to can to top then pour into condensed milk. 
Add milk to can to top and add to mixture.

Mix milks and water together.

Add milk mixture to eggs and whisk until combined.

 Pour flan mixture into pan with caramelized sugar and cover with flan lid or aluminum foil.

Place wok on stove top.

Place steamer insert in wok and fill wok with water to within a 1/2 inch of bottom of steamer.

Boil the water.
