Honey Flan With Citrus And Kiwifruit Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine 1/4 cup honey, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves (if bubbles appear at edges of pan before sugar dissolves, reduce heat to low). Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, undisturbed, until mixture darkens and registers 300 degrees (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes. Pour into an 8-inch round cake pan, tilting pan as necessary to ensure mixture evenly coats bottom. Let stand until cool and hardened, about 15 minutes.
• Gently whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, cream, vanilla, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup honey. Gently whisk to combine and dissolve honey. Firmly tap bowl on a work surface to release any air bubbles; skim any foam from surface of mixture. Place cake pan in the center of a roasting pan, then pour egg mixture into cake pan. Transfer to oven; pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come two-thirds up sides of cake pan. Cook until custard is set but still wobbly in center, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in water bath 10 minutes, then carefully transfer cake pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• Run a knife around edges of pan to loosen sides of flan. Invert onto a large rimmed plate or serving dish. Transfer to refrigerator until cold, at least 2 hours or, loosely covered, up to 2 days. Top with fruits and serve, cut into wedges.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together 1/4 cup sugar, pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and cook, without stirring, over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove lid; continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until amber, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; carefully stir in coffee (mixture will bubble).
• When bubbling subsides, pour caramel into a 3-cup ceramic dish, or divide between two 4-inch ramekins. Tilt to completely coat bottom and halfway up sides. Let cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Scrape vanilla seeds into a clean small saucepan; add vanilla pod, half and half, and 1/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium until bubbles form around edges; remove from heat. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and yolk, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk into hot half-and-half mixture. Strain through a sieve.
• Pour into dish coated with caramel. Place in a roasting pan on center rack of oven; add boiling water to reach halfway up sides of custard dish. Bake until custard is set around edges and still slightly jiggly in center, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove dish from water bath and let cool completely, then refrigerate, uncovered, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Run a thin, flexible knife around edge of crème caramel to release it. Place a serving plate on top, flip to unmold, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, stir together the condensed milk, 1 1/2 cups water and the salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the ingredients are fully integrated, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the citrus zests and allow to cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, eggs and vanilla. Pour the condensed milk mixture over the eggs and whisk to blend.
• Fill the ramekins about three-quarters each with the liquid and place the water bath in the center of the oven. Bake until they are almost firm in the center when lightly shaken, 45 to 50 minutes. Refrigerate until cooled.
• Serve the ramekins topped with slices of fresh orange and lemon, or by themselves with some cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-by-15 inch jelly roll pan.
• For the crust, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together white and confectioners' sugars, butter, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients. Blend well. Spread the dough evenly on the bottom of the greased pan. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the filling, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over the cooled crust. Arrange the fruit on the cream cheese filling and refrigerate.
• For the glaze, mix together the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk in the water, orange juice, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil gently for one minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
• Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the fruit. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup juice in a small bowl; sprinkle with gelatin. Set aside to soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine sugar and remaining 1 1/2 cups juice. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat; add softened gelatin mixture, and stir until dissolved. Pour into an 8-inch square baking pan. Chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 5 days.
• To serve, run a paring knife around edge of pan to loosen jelly, and invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares, or as desired.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high; add pepitas and cook, shaking skillet constantly, until darkened and beginning to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add sunflower seeds to skillet and cook, shaking constantly, until golden and beginning to pop, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate with pepitas; let cool.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add sesame seeds to skillet and cook, shaking constantly, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate; let cool completely. Add poppy seeds to plate; stir to combine.
• Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, honey, and 1/3 cup water to a boil over high, stirring until sugar and honey are dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees. Remove from heat, add baking soda, and whisk vigorously just until incorporated, 2 to 3 seconds.
• Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet (do not spread; it will flow out to fill sheet). Immediately sprinkle with seed mixture and flaky salt. Let cool completely. Break into pieces; serve. Brittle can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week.
