What is Flan and How Mango Makes It Special

Flan is traditionally a velvety egg custard topped with a rich layer of caramel. This dessert resonates with many cultures and has a special place on dessert tables worldwide. However, by adding mango to the mix, we transform this classic dish into something refreshing and exciting.

The real highlight of this recipe is the Butti Fitti mangoes. Varieties such as Alphonso and Kesar are perfect for this flan due to their smooth texture and intense flavor. Just one ripe mango can weigh around 200-400 grams, offering about 80 calories, and is packed with vitamins A and C, which makes them not just delicious but also a healthy addition to your dessert.

Mango Flan Recipe – Creamy, Caramel, and Simple

Ingredients

To create this delightful mango flan, gather the following:

• 1 cup of sugar (for caramel)

• 4 large eggs

• 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk

• 1 can (12 oz) of evaporated milk

• 1 tsp of vanilla extract

• 1 cup of ripe mango pulp (preferably Butti Fitti mangoes)

  
  

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Creating the Caramel:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the sugar until it melts into a golden brown color. Be sure to swirl the pan occasionally for even melting. Once you reach the desired color, pour the caramel into a round cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

   
   

   • In a blender, mix the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and fresh mango pulp. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a heavenly custard consistency.

   • Pour the mango custard over the caramel in the cake pan. Place this pan inside a larger baking dish filled with hot water, which acts as a water bath. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes. The flan is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   • Allow the flan to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving platter, letting the caramel drizzle over the flan.
