Ingredients
palm sugar 100 g
eggs 3 pieces
sugar 40 g
fresh milk 200 ml
Implementation Steps
01
Make the caramel
In a small pot, heat 100g of finely chopped palm sugar with 25ml of water. When it just comes to the boil, add another 25ml of water and stir well. Once the sugar has melted and turned a golden colour, quickly pour it into the flan moulds. Be careful, as hot sugar can cause burns.

02
Make the custard
In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs. Add 40g of sugar, 200ml of fresh milk and a little vanilla, and stir until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved.

Strain the egg, sugar and milk mixture through a fine sieve to remove any foam and lumps. This makes the flan silkier. Then pour the strained custard into the moulds over the set palm sugar caramel. Cover the moulds tightly.

03
Steam the flan
Put a steamer on the stove and place the flan moulds inside. Cover and steam the flan for about 30-40 minutes, or until set.

Test the flan by inserting a toothpick into the centre. If the toothpick comes out clean, the flan is done. If it comes out with custard on it, steam for a little longer.

Once the flan is cooked, turn off the heat and let it cool naturally in the moulds. Then chill the flan in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight so it sets and becomes silky smooth.

The finished dish
Palm sugar flan has a naturally sweet, refreshing flavour from the palm sugar that blends perfectly with the rich, tender egg and milk custard for a beautifully balanced taste. It's sure to become a weekend dessert the whole family will love.
