Pudim de leite condensado (Brazilian flan)
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (370 g)
- 500 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 5 organic eggs
- Pinch of grated fresh root ginger
- Pinch of cardamom
- Finely grated zests of lemon and orange
- 150 ml caramel
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
2
Whisk together the eggs, salt, cardamom, ginger and orange and lemon zest in a bowl.
3
Add the condensed milk and semi-skimmed milk and blend.
4
Brush the inside of a cake tin generously with fairly thick caramel sauce.
5
Add the flan mixture, cover and place in the oven in a preheated bain-marie (the hot water must be the same depth as the flan).
6
Cook for around 80 minutes.
7
Chill overnight in the fridge.
Notes
The easiest way to remove the ‘pudim’ is to heat the tin slightly using a blowtorch. Serve with Chantilly cream.
