Brazilian Orange Flan

This recipe is by Maria-Brazil and I have been making it for years with some minor alterations. It is a perfect consistency and isn't too sweet and as I love anything that has oranges in it, this was absolute perfection.

Brazilian Orange Flan

RECIPE: Brazilian Orange Flan

Ingredients

1 (14 fluid ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk

14 fluid ounces freshly squeezed orange juice, I like fresh tangerines juice for its intense flavor

4 eggs

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 cup sugar ( for the caramel)

8-9" Round Cake Pan for baking

Method

1. Place the sugar in an 8-9 inch round cake pan.Place the mold directly over medium heat. Keep turning the mold until the sugar melts into a golden brown caramel and spoon it up the sides of the mold.
2. Combine the condensed milk,orange juice,orange zest, and eggs in a blender. Whip until smooth.
3. Pour this mixture into the cake pan and place it in the center of the roasting pan with water. Bake it for about one hour (it will depend on your oven). It will turn golden brown on top and start separating from the sides of the mold. Let it cool to room temperature and place in refrigerator, preferably overnight (at least 6 hours).
4. Just before serving, run the tip of a knife around the inside of the mold. place a deep platter over the mold and invert (the flan should slide out easily).If not, give the mold a firm but careful shake. Spoon the caramel sauce on top and serve.
