Easy Raspberry Flan Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, beat the whole eggs, egg yolk and sugar together with a wire whisk. Add the lemon juice, heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk and combine well.
• Put the bananas and milk into the container of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or into a blender, and puree. Add this to the egg-and-sugar mixture in the bowl. Then add the rum, banana liqueur (if used) and the vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
• Lightly grease each of four 10-ounce custard cups. Pour the flan mixture in equal amounts into the cups.
• Put the cups into a baking pan with three-inch sides. Pour warm water into the pan until it reaches halfway up the side of the cups.
• Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the custard is set. (The custard is done when the thin blade of a knife comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the flan.)
• Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry puree. In a food processor or blender, puree the thawed raspberries with their syrup. Strain through a fine sieve and mix in the sugar and wine. Set aside.
• When the flans are cooked, remove them from the water and let rest for five minutes.
• To serve the flan warm, invert each custard cup onto a dessert plate and shake once to release. Spoon equal amounts of the raspberry sauce around each flan. Garnish the top of each with three raspberries and a mint leaf. To serve the flans cold, let them cool for 30 minutes, cover and refrigerate for several hours. Cover the raspberry sauce and chill as well. At serving time, assemble the dish as described above.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a saucepan over low heat combine 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until sugar caramelizes, swirling pan occasionally. Immediately pour into 2 (9-inch) pie dishes. Turn dishes, so bottom and sides are coated. Set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together eggs, egg yolks and vanilla.
• Stir in whipping cream, milk and 1 1/2 cups sugar.
• Divide mixture among pie dishes.
• Place pie pans in a heavy baking pan, adding enough hot water to come up halfway up sides of pie dishes.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes clean. Remove custards from water and cool. Refrigerate overnight (*can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.).
• Invert custards on platters; sprinkle with raspberries to serve.
