  • 500 g Jaggery Powder
  • 100 g Unsalted Butter
  • 100 g Salt

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a water bath by placing a large baking dish filled halfway with hot water in the oven.
  2. 2. In a small saucepan, combine the jaggery or brown sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir until melted and caramelized, then pour the mixture into the bottom of a flan mold or ramekins to coat evenly. Set aside to cool.
  3. 3. In a blender, combine the full-fat milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, chipotle pepper, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  4. 4. Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the prepared flan mold or ramekins to ensure a silky texture.
  5. 5. Place the mold or ramekins into the prepared water bath and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. 6. Remove from the oven and let the flan cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
  7. 7. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, then invert onto a serving plate to reveal the caramelized top. Slice and enjoy!
