Best 3 White Chocolate Flan Recipes

WHITE CHOCOLATE FLAN

Steps:

• Combine white and brown sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely, but stop stirring once the mixture comes to a boil to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
• Swirl the pan gently to redistribute the caramel as the sugar begins to darken. Cook to about 310 degrees F (160 degrees C), or until the sugar turns light golden brown. Remove from heat immediately, as sugar will continue to darken.
• Pour the caramel in an 8-inch baking dish, coating the bottom and sides of the dish. Let caramel harden, about 5 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch.
• Cream together the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and melted white chocolate in a bowl until smooth.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture over the hardened caramel.
• Place baking dish in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with about 1-inch water.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
• Refrigerate until completely chilled, 5 to 6 hours. To serve, run a paring knife along the edges of the baking dish to loosen the flan. Cover the baking dish with a plate, and invert it to tip the flan out of the pan and onto the plate.

WHITE CHOCOLATE FLAN

Steps:

• You need a 10-inch flan or cake pan.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Make Caramel Syrup: Put the sugar in a small saucepan and stir in enough water to moisten all the sugar. Heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Then bring to a rapid boil and cook for several minutes until caramel-colored. Do not stir. (Careful! Cooked sugar is very hot and can burn the skin if it spatters.) Immediately pour the hot caramel syrup into the flan pan and swirl the pan until it coats the bottom and a bit of the sides. The caramel will harden at this point and melt again later as the flan bakes.
• To make custard: In a heavy medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the white chocolate with the coconut milk, half and half, cinnamon, liqueur, orange zest and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat just until mixture is scalding-hot (not boiling) and chocolate has melted, whisking often. Remove from heat; set aside for 20 minutes or until slightly cool.
• Using a wire whisk, beat eggs and egg yolks, and sugar in a large bowl until blended. Continue whisking the egg mixture as you slowly ladle in the hot chocolate mixture, in a thin stream, until all the hot chocolate mixture has been used up.
• Pour custard mixture into prepared flan pan and set into a slightly larger baking pan. Pour enough boiling-hot water into the larger baking pan to come halfway up the sides of your flan pan.
• Bake flan for one hour. Remove, cool and refrigerate.
• Run the tip of a small, sharp knife around the edge of flan to loosen from pan. Invert onto a serving plate with a lip before serving as the caramel syrup will have melted and created a delicious sauce.
