Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams sugar
- 60 ml water
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 500 ml milk
- 60 grams whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and place a large roasting pan inside with hot water to create a water bath.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Cook while stirring gently until the sugar dissolves and starts to caramelize into a golden color, about 8-10 minutes.
Pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish, swirling it to cover the base evenly. Set aside to cool and harden slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
In another bowl, mix the milk with the whey protein powder until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Gradually add the milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated water bath in the oven.
Bake for about 60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Invert the flan onto a serving platter, allowing the caramel to flow over the top. Slice and enjoy!
