Toffee Caramel Flan, also known as Creme Caramel, is a classic French dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is a silky smooth custard dessert made with eggs, milk, and cream, caramelized with sugar and a touch of molasses for added depth of flavor. The amaretto liqueur adds a lovely almond flavor to the dessert. Typically, Toffee Caramel Flan is served chilled, and decorated with a drizzle of additional caramel sauce or fresh fruit. It is a decadent and luxurious dessert that is well worth the time and effort it takes to prepare it.

Instructions

1.Heat the oven to 325°F.
2.In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3.3. Once the sugar mixture darkens to a deep caramel color, pour it immediately into a 9-inch round cake pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
4.In a medium-sized pot, combine the milk, heavy cream, cinnamon stick, and vanilla bean. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it comes to a simmer.
5.5. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, and molasses until well combined.
6.Gradually pour the simmering cream mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Stir in the amaretto.
7.Pour the custard into the caramel-coated cake pan.
8.Place the cake pan in a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
9.Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
10.Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until the custard is set.
11.Carefully remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool for 30 minutes before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.
