3. Bake the Flan

  1. Baking Setup:
    • Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).
    • If the flan is prepared ahead of time (chilled), bake uncovered for about 1 hour 15 minutes. If baked immediately (at room temperature), allow for about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  2. Bake Until Set:
    • The flan is ready when the custard is firm enough to hold its shape and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool:
    • Remove from the oven and let the flan cool completely in the dish.

4. Prepare the Whipped Cream

  1. Whip the Cream:
    • In a chilled mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream using a whisk or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
    • Add a few drops of vanilla extract if desired, and continue to beat until incorporated.
  2. Chill:
    • Transfer the whipped cream to the refrigerator while the flan finishes cooling.

5. Assembly

  1. Unmold the Flan:
    • Once completely cooled, carefully run a knife along the edges of the dish. Invert the dish onto a serving plate to release the flan.
  2. Top with Whipped Cream:
    • Gently spread the chilled whipped cream over the top of the flan, creating an even layer.
  3. Final Chill:
    • Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 3 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the custard to set even more.

Serving Suggestions

  • On Its Own: Enjoy a slice of this dessert on its own for a refreshingly sweet treat.
  • With Fresh Fruit: Garnish with sliced berries or tropical fruits for an extra burst of flavor.
  • As a Special Dessert: Perfect for a family gathering or to impress guests at your next dinner party.

Final Tips

  • Caramel Care: Watch the caramel closely as it can burn quickly. If it darkens too much, the flavor may turn bitter.
  • Texture Check: The flan mixture should be smooth; ensure the cornstarch is well blended to avoid any lumps.
  • Cooling is Key: Allowing the flan to cool fully before adding whipped cream is crucial for a clean slice and better texture.

Enjoy your homemade creamy and refreshing dessert—a delightful combination of smooth flan, rich caramel, and airy whipped cream that will satisfy every sweet craving!
