Posted by Solitary Dancer on December 7, 2007

Wow, this sounds fantabulous! What a nice idea for the holidays! I wish I had a picture of this. Hmmmm, I may have to try this and then post a pic.

Ginger Flan

6 servings

preconditions: Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Ingredients:

3 egg yolks
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup water
8 packets sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger

Preparation Method:

1    Place a roasting pan on center shelf in oven and fill almost half way with boiling water. In a blender, combine yolks, eggs, cream, water, sugar substitute, vanilla, and ginger until very smooth.

2    Pour through a sieve into a shallow 1 quart baking dish.

3    Carefully place dish in roasting pan (water should come up halfway up sides). Bake 30 to 35 minutes until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

4    Transfer to wire rack; cool to room temperature.

5    Spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray, lay directly over flan and chill 3 hours in refrigerator.

Comments: If you aren’t partial to the flavor of ginger, omit it and increase the vanilla extract to 1 tablespoon.
