Description
This Eggnog Flan is rich, creamy, nutmeg-spiced and delightfully sweet. This festive dessert is a must make for all eggnog lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
- 5 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons rum (or 1 teaspoon rum extract)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (double it for more spice flavor)
- cranberries, rosemary, star anise (optional for decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt the sugar in a pan, stirring with a plastic spatula until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color. Pour immediately into a 9-inch round pan (with at least 2-inch high sides) and tilt until the bottom of the pan and some of the sides have been coated. Let it cool completely before adding the custard.
- Add the eggnog, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, rum and nutmeg to a blender. Blend for 10 to 15 seconds. You can also pour the ingredients into a bowl and whisk them together, but a blender usually creates a smoother flan.
- Pour into the cooled pan. Cover the pan tightly with foil and place in a larger pan. Pour water halfway up the sides of the flan pan.
- Carefully transfer to the oven, being sure to not splash any of the water into the flan. Bake for 85 minutes. Remove from the oven and take out of the water bath. The flan should be slightly jiggly in the center, but set on the sides. The center will firm up as it cools.
- Cool for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best if you can wait. The longer the flan sits, the more the caramel will melt to make more of the delicious sauce.
- When ready to serve, slide a knife around the outside edge of the pan to release the flan. Then place a plate that is wider than the flan pan upside down over the flan and quickly invert. Remove the pan, decorate if desired, then slice and serve!
