Ingredients:
1.5 cups
Sugar2 cans
Condensed Milk8
Eggs1 tsp
Vanilla1 tsp
Almond Extract1 tsp
Salt1 tbsp
AmarettoDirections:
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2
To make the caramel, heat the sugar in a medium sized skillet over medium heat
3
When the sugar begins to melt, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until the sugar has melted and browned
4
Spoon or pour the caramel over the bottom of a 3 quart oval baking dish and tilt the dish so that caramel spreads evenly around the sides
5
The caramel hardens as it cools, so work quickly
6
In a bowl whip the eggs gently until smooth and then add the condensed milk, fresh milk, vanilla, almond extract, salt and Amaretto, and whisk until smooth
7
Strain the mixture through a sieve in the caramel-coated baking dish
8
Set the mold in a larger pan of warm water
9
The water must reach half the depth of the mold
10
Cover the flan loosely with foil to prevent it from overbrowning
11
Bake for 1 1/2 hours until the center feels just firm when pressed
12
Remove from the water bath and allow to cool
13
Chill in the refrigerator until serving
14
Unmold by placing a large decorative platter over the mold, and using both hands, flip the mold over onto the platter
15
Remove the mold and decorate the flan with orange sections and strawberries
