How To Make homemade flan with fresh berries & chocolate sauce

  • So delicious!!! :)
    1
    Mix together the eggs with the first third of a cup of sugar and the vanilla being careful not to make too many bubbles when stirring the mixture. If you have a fine sieve or strainer,strain the mixture after mixing so you have a smooth finished product.

    In a heavy non stick pot or skillet melt the other third of a cup of sugar on medium high until it begins to melt and turn light brown,stirring constantly,do not overcook or burn the caramel!

    Pour the caramel into four 1 cup ramekins then tilt them to coat the bottoms,let cool for ten minutes. Divide the egg mixture between the four ramekins,sprinkle with spice if desired,place in a shallow baking pan then place in the pre-heated 325 degree oven. Fill the baking pan with very hot water about 3/4 of the way up the side of the ramekins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out the center clean. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
