Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6; 1/2 cup per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray
2 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon dry or sweet sherry
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fat-free caramel ice cream topping
1 1/2 cups sliced peeled peaches or sliced nectarines

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray six 6-ounce custard cups with cooking spray.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, egg whites, sugar, sherry, vanilla, and nutmeg. Pour about 1/2 cup of the mixture into each custard cup. Place the custard cups in a large pan with a rim. Place the pan in the oven and carefully pour hot water into the large pan to a depth of about 1 inch. Be sure the water doesn’t get into the custard cups.

    Step 3

    Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick or knife inserted near the center of a flan comes out clean. Remove the custard cups from the pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack. Cover and refrigerate until serving time (up to 24 hours). Run a knife around the edge of a flan, place a dessert plate on top, and invert to remove the flan. Repeat with the remaining flans.

    Step 4

    Just before serving the flans, in a small microwaveable bowl, microwave the caramel topping on 100 percent power (high) for 10 seconds. Spoon the topping and peaches over each serving. Serve immediately.
