Flan In A Cup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Heat 1/2 cup sugar in heavy 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and golden brown. Divide sugar syrup among four 6-ounce custard cups; tilt cups to coat bottoms. Allow syrup to harden in cups about 5 minutes.
• Mix remaining ingredients; pour into custard cups. Place cups in square pan, 9x9x2 inches, on oven rack. Pour very hot water into pan to within 1/2 inch of tops of cups.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Immediately remove from water. Unmold and serve warm, or refrigerate up to 8 hours and unmold at serving time.

Steps:

• For the flan custard: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium pot over medium heat, add sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and turns an amber color, about 10 minutes, without stirring. Pour the caramelized sugar into an 8- by 10-inch pan or 10-inch cake pan and let it cool.
• In a blender, blend the eggs, cream cheese, condensed milk and evaporated milk. Blend for about 4 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into the pan. Put the pan inside an 11- by 14-inch pan. Put water into the larger pan until almost full. Bake until it sets and has a slight uniform jiggle, about 1 hour. When done, take the smaller pan out of the larger pan and let it cool.
• For the cupcakes: Line cupcake tins with paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Cream the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy and light. Add the eggs, one at a time beating well between each addition. Then add the vanilla and mix until fluffy. Fold in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk. Do not over mix. Portion into the prepared cupcake tins. Bake for about 20 minutes.
• For the frosting: Combine the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a standing mixer or large bowl. Mix until smooth and spreadable.
• To assemble the cupcakes: Cut a hole in the top of each cupcake with an apple corer. Fill a pastry bag with the flan. Pipe in enough flan to fill the hole in the cupcake. Top each cupcake with frosting.

Steps:

• Stir the milk and sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar melts.Let it cool. Make sure you don't let the milk boil.
• Break the eggs in a bowl and stir them well.
• Slowly pour the milk from Step 1 into the bowl from Step 2.
• Pour the mix from Step 3 through a strainer. This makes the flan smoother.
• Make the caramel sauce in a small saucepan. Put the sugar and the water in the pot and stir quickly over high heat. When it becomes brown, remove from heat and put it into four tea cups. Then pour the mix from Step 4 into the cups over the caramel sauce.
• Fill a pot with water and put a steamer on it.Put the cups in the steamer.Put a towel under the lid so that the water won't get into the flan. After 2 to 3 minutes in high heat, lower the heat and steam for 15 minutes.
• You can move the lid a little so that some steam will escape.
• Poke a hole in the flan with a toothpick, and if juice doesn't come out, it's done. After it cools put it in the fridge.
