Quick and Easy Microwave Flan: A Creamy Delight in Minutes
Introduction:
Microwave cooking has revolutionized the way we prepare meals, offering convenience without sacrificing flavor. While many might associate microwaves with reheating leftovers or quick snacks, they can also be used to create impressive desserts. One such dessert is flan, a creamy and decadent custard topped with caramel. In this article, we'll explore how to make a delicious microwave flan that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth in no time.
Why Microwave Flan?
Traditionally, flan is baked in a water bath in the oven, which can be time-consuming and requires careful monitoring. However, using a microwave significantly reduces the cooking time without compromising on taste or texture. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a velvety-smooth flan in a fraction of the time.
Ingredients:
2 + 3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Caramel:
Place the granulated sugar in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar melts and caramelizes, stirring occasionally. Be cautious as the bowl will be hot.
Quickly pour the caramel into a microwave-safe flan mold or individual ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
Prepare the Flan Mixture:
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Add milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Combine and Cook:
Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel layer in the flan mold or ramekins.
Cover the mold or ramekins with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave on medium power (50%) for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Allow the flan to cool to room temperature, then freeze for at least a few minutes.
Tips and Variations:
Be careful when handling the hot caramel to avoid burns.
For a richer flavor, you can infuse the evaporated milk with cinnamon sticks or citrus zest before adding it to the flan mixture.
Garnish your flan with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of elegance.
