Steps:

• Sprinkle the sugar evenly in a nine-inch cake pan and place over medium heat. Using oven mitts, caramelize the sugar by shaking the pan occasionally until the sugar is melted and has turned a light golden brown. (A little stirring may be necessary when caramelizing the sugar over a gas burner.) Allow to cool. The mixture may crack slightly.
• Blend the remaining ingredients with a wire whisk or electric mixer until egg is completely blended with the milk. Pour over the caramelized sugar. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in a larger, shallow pan. Pour about one inch of hot water in the larger pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Remove the pan from water and uncover. Let it cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes. 4. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Place a serving plate upside down on top of the cake pan and quickly invert the flan onto it.

Steps:

• Use a 9 inch round baking pan.
• caramelize the sugar and water on low heat in a stainless steel saucepan.
• When the sugar turns golden, remove from heat and coat the baking pan bottom with the caramel.
• In a blender, mix the rest of the ingredients except the orange until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the caramelized baking pan and place in a larger pan containing 1 inch of water.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about one hour until top is set and golden.
• Remove pan from the water and allow to cool.
• Place a serving plate over pan and flip over.
• Remove the pan.
• Chill at least an hour before serving.
• Serve with the orange slices as a garnish.

Steps:

• Grind almonds in a food processor, then blend in ricotta, sugar, eggs, zest, rum, extract, and nutmeg. Butter a deep dish pie dish, pour in ricotta mixture.
• Bake at 325 for 30-35 mins or until center is set. Cool before cutting into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup sugar and the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Without stirring, cook until syrup is a rich amber color, about 8 minutes; brush down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Pour into an 8-by-2-inch round tart pan, swirling to coat bottom evenly. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring half-and-half and ground almonds just to a boil; remove from heat. Let steep, covered, 20 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing with a rubber spatula to extract liquid; discard solids.
• Whisk remaining 2/3 cup sugar and salt into mixture in saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk together eggs and yolks in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add half-and-half mixture. Stir in the amaretto. Pour through a fine sieve into prepared pan; place in a roasting pan.
• Cover the flan with foil; poke several holes in foil. Place pan in oven; fill it with boiling water to reach halfway up sides of flan. Bake until just set, 50 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap; chill overnight. Run a thin knife around edge of flan; invert onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place oven rack in middle position. Put sugar in a round 9-by-3-inch cake pan. Using a heavy oven mitt or tongs, place the pan directly over medium heat to caramelize the sugar. Heat until the sugar liquefies, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Do not touch the melted sugar - it will cause serious burns. When the hot liquid in the pan is a golden brown color, remove from heat and set aside on a rack to cool and harden.
• In a blender, combine the almonds, condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, yolks, and vanilla. Process on medium speed until well blended. Pour custard mixture over the prepared caramel. Place the cake pan in a larger, deeper pan and pour about an inch of hot water around the cake pan to make a water bath. Cover the flan loosely with a foil tent and place the larger pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until flan is set in the center (it will no longer jiggle). Remove from the oven and cool on a rack at room temperature. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• To serve, run a knife or thin spatula around the edge of the flan to release it from the sides of the pan. Place a 10-inch (or larger) serving platter on top of the pan. Turn the platter over and gently remove the cake pan, leaving flan on the serving platter. Using a flexible spatula, scrape up as much of the caramel as possible from the bottom of the pan and pour over the flan. Cut into triangular wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar with 1/4 cup water. Stir until completely dissolved. Place pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until syrup begins to bubble. Stop stirring and allow pan to sit until syrup begins to turn golden at edges, brushing down any sugar crystals with a brush dipped in cold water. Occasionally rotate pan to mix syrup without stirring it, then replace over heat. Continue doing this until syrup is evenly golden brown. Pour caramel into an 8-inch round flan mold or cake pan, or 10 to 12 3-inch fluted molds, tilting to spread caramel evenly along bottom. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, mix together remaining 2 cups sugar with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool until lukewarm.
• Whisk together yolks and whole eggs until blended, then pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Add orange zest, orange juice and ground almonds. Whisk in sugar syrup. Pour into caramel-lined mold or molds, filling to just below rim. Cover mold or molds tightly with foil.
• Place mold or molds into a larger pan. Pour enough hot water into large pan to reach halfway up side of flan mold. Bake until a knife inserted halfway into flan comes out clean, 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on type of pan and oven used.
• Allow flan to cool, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours. Just before serving, warm base of pan by dipping it briefly in a pan of hot water. Invert onto a plate, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, cook sugar with water, stirring, until melted and light brown.
• Pour into a 8 or 9 inch flan pan or cake mold, tilting to coat the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
• In a bowl, gently whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks and almond extract, being careful not to incorporate any air into the mixture.
• Pour into prepared pan, and tap on the counter to remove any bubbles.
• Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel.
• Place baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven 45 to 50 minutes, until set.
• Let cool completely.
• To unmold, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the flan onto a rimmed serving platter.
• Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together egg and egg yolks.
• While whisking add the sugar slowly until fully dissolved.
• Add vanilla, heavy cream, milk, and salt and continue to whisk.
• In order to get rid of air bubbles in mixture, transfer to large bowl through a fine strainer.
• In the bottom of 6 (1/2 cup) ramekins (small ceramic custard cups), place about 1 1/2 teaspoons of caramel.
• When all 6 ramekins have caramel at the bottom, brush each bottom and side with melted butter to secure flan and yet allow it to be removed easily.
• Fill each ramekin with the flan mixture, SLOWLY to avoid air bubbles, until about 2/3 full.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place almost full ramekins in shallow baking pan and then fill the pan with boiling water.
• The hot water bath will allow the flan cups to cook evenly in the oven.
• Right before placing pan in oven, top each ramekin with a tablespoon of hot espresso.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• When removing pan from oven, allow the ramekins to remain cooling in their original water bath.
• Ramekins can be covered and refrigerated overnight if necessary.
• Before serving, place ramekins in another shallow pan of warm water to loosen the custard.
• Run a thin knife around the inside edge of cup to further loosen, place a plate on top of ramekin and flip onto plate to serve.
• For the Caramel: In preheated saucepan over medium heat, pour in water and bring to boil.
• Add sugar and stir until caramel brown (about 4 minutes).
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Butter and flour an 8 or 9 inch cake tin.
• Stir together the sugar, almonds, cinnamon and flour.
• Add egg yolks, brandy and chopped cherries.
• Combine well.
• Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the yolk mixture.
• Transfer to the prepared cake tin.
• Bake in a preheated 325°F oven for 30 minutes until the cake tests done.
• Let the cake cool in the tin for 15 minutes before unmolding.
