Very easy to make only if it's made correctly ❤

Be super-careful if you're making the hot caramel topping for this pudding or flan!! Don't get distracted, any carelessness can lead to serious injuries ⚠️ Use a silver wok to make the hot caramel to prevent yourselves from any additional injuries. Take further care of yourselves while pouring this hot caramel on to the mould. Handle both the wok and the hot mould with oven-mittens before chilling in the fridge.

All you need are a gas/electric stove, an electric hand-held mixer, a metal mould, a cooling rack, a giant pot to steam this dessert, some aluminum foil to cover the dessert while it's steaming, a lid to cover the pot and a heavy brick to hold it all in place.

It shouldn't take that long to steam. Just, take a fork/toothpick/skewer and poke it in the center. If it comes clean, then you'll know it's ready! 😋

I'm often used to making this dessert with store-bought vanilla ice cream as a cheats way of bringing it to life but this time, I decided to use sweetened condensed milk instead since... we haven't had any ice cream in the fridge due to the lockdown caused by this virus pandemic 😷

Chill this sweet concoction in the fridge. Desserts like these taste better when they're cold ❄

রান্নার নির্দেশ

2 hr 30 mins
  1. 1

    To make this pudding or flan come to life, make the caramel topping first. Place 3 to 4 teaspoons of sugar on a silver wok and stir it with a metal spoon till the sugar turns into a reddish tint. Once the sugar dissolves and gets that desired hue, splash a bit of water to loosen the stickiness. At this stage, please be careful and look after yourself while you continue to stir the hot caramel. Any type of carelessness or distraction while making this can lead to serious injuries!

  2. 2

    Pour the caramel in the metal mould. Once again... please be very careful while pouring it!!! Wear your oven-mittens and let this chill in the fridge. Now, start making the main body for the pudding/flan.

  3. 3

    Whisk 4 eggs (egg replacer powder mixed with water) and sweetened condensed milk (choose a plant-based version instead of the ones that come from the dairy) till they come together. Pour the boiled milk (plant-based; dairy-free) in a small steady stream and gradually, add the vanilla till they're all combined into a thick, velvety mixture.

  4. 4

    Give the pudding or flan batter 1 final stir with a metal spoon. Bring out the metal mould with the set caramel topping from the fridge. Strain it through a sieve to trap any air bubbles. If you don't do that, your dessert could end up having large holes like Swiss cheese and you obviously don't want that!

  5. 5

    Cover the filled mould with aluminum foil, place it inside the giant steaming metal pot pre-filled half the way with water with a metal rack. If you're using a gas stove, the flame should be on medium heat and if you're using electric stove, adjust your temperature to medium... we don't want the pudding/flan to be neither undercooked with a low flame nor overcooked with a high flame. After everything's set, cover the steamer with a metal lid and put a brick on the top to hold it in place.

  6. 6

    My cream caramel/flan took approximately 2 hours 15 minutes to cook, even though it should normally take 2 hours 30 minutes to be done perfectly. I've chilled mine in the fridge for 48 hours before bringing it out to cut a tiny piece of it.

  7. 7

    Decorate this beauty with elegant toppings such as red maraschino cherries, tinned cocktail fruit, whipped cream, chocolate/strawberry syrup and/or rainbow sprinkles. But because of the lockdown caused by the covid-19 pandemic, the only topping I had in the fridge at the moment were these red rubies, otherwise known as the red maraschino cherries by Hosen. They are often sold in glass jars and soaked in syrup. How did the pudding/flan taste? It was... deeeelicious ! 😍🍮❤

My love for food and cooking mostly came from my mum and both my sister and I grew up enjoying her dishes and were fortunate enough to inherit some of her cooking skills. I have a huuuuge sweettooth and love making desserts, whether if it's our world-famous Bengali Rasgulla or a tiny batch of dark chocolate brownies... you name it, I love ALL types of desserts!Despite tantrums and criticism from family and society, I've been a vegetarian since I turned 16 in 2008, so I refrain from eating or using anything that comes from animals and do everything I can to eat as healthy as possible.
