Ingredients
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 120 ml Pure maple syrup
- 480 ml Whole milk
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 4 pcs Large eggs
- 2 pcs Large egg yolks
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Place a large roasting pan on the middle rack of the oven.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let it simmer until it turns a deep amber caramel color, about 8-10 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 3
Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or flan mold, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
Step 4
In another saucepan, combine the maple syrup, whole milk, and heavy cream. Heat gently over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges (do not boil), then remove from the heat.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Step 6
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This prevents the eggs from curdling.
Step 7
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
Step 8
Pour the strained custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the prepared pan.
Step 9
Carefully place the cake pan in the preheated roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan, creating a water bath.
Step 10
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 11
Remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 12
To serve, run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a serving plate over the pan, then quickly invert to release the flan onto the plate, allowing the caramel to flow over the top.
Step 13
Slice and enjoy your rich maple crème flan!
