How to make White Chocolate Flan
- Step 1
Place the liter of milk in a saucepan and heat over low heat until it boils.
- Step 2
Remove from heat and add the white chocolate, previously cut into small pieces. Stir thoroughly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Set aside.
- Step 3
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until you achieve a frothy mixture. Then add the milk with the melted chocolate, beating well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Step 4
Coat the bottom and sides of the mold you’ll be using with liquid caramel.
- Step 5
Carefully pour the flan mixture into the mold.
- Step 6
Cook the flan in a water bath (bain-marie) in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Step 7
Remove from the oven and the water bath, and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
