💞Hello Steemit Iron Chef Community💞

I hope that by the infinite mercy of Allah, my Stimians friends are well. Today I am participating in the final lesson of "Steemit Learning Challenge Season 21", organized by @dasudi mam.

For example Coffee Flan, Chocolate Flan, and Coconut Flan. I want to thank the teachers of my learning team for organizing this amazing Flan-making competition. ,,, SLC21-W6 // This week of Flan I decided to make Chocolate Flan.

✓ Have you ever made flan at home? Tell us about your experience.

Yes, I have made flan at home before. My boys love to eat this flan. Before I made this recipe, I knew it as a pudding recipe made with eggs, milk, and yogurt. But in this teaching class, I got to know another name. The experience of making this flan recipe was very great. When I first gathered all the ingredients to make this flan recipe, I was worried that I would not be able to make a perfect flan. But I managed to create it flawlessly. My whole family praised my flan after eating it.

My first flan/pudding which I was able to make very beautifully. I added some dry fruits to enhance the beauty of this flan/pudding.

✓ Make a flan, you can follow the recipe given in the course or if you have another one that you have prepared you can share it, detailing utensils, ingredients and step by step.

Ingredients needed to make chocolate flan:

• 2 eggs

• Cocoa powder 30 grams

• 3 tablespoons of sugar

• 200 grams of liquid milk

• 200 grams of condensed milk

Making caramel

• To make caramel, I put a pot on the stove. I added one tablespoon of water to the saucepan along with three tablespoons of sugar.

• Keep the stove on medium heat and let the sugar dissolve. When the sugar melts and thickens and starts to turn reddish, turn the stove on low heat and stir continuously with a spoon.

• Continue to whisk the caramel until it takes on a lovely hue. When the caramel thickens and gets a beautiful color, turn off the stove.

	Continue by adding the caramel to the saucepan that was used to make the flan.The caramel will cool in the pot and solidify.

Preparation of the flan mixture

• To make the flan mixer, first take a blender cup. I combined condensed milk, liquid milk, eggs, and cocoa powder according to the amount in the cup.

• Blend all the ingredients for 5-6 minutes to mix them well.

• The mixer for creating flan is now prepared. I poured the entire mixer into the pot in which I had set the caramel and set it.

• I took a pot of water on the stove and boiled it well. I then set the flan mold with its mouth shut on the water in the pot. Make sure that the water covers half of the mold.

• For a perfect flan, I will cook it on medium heat for 45-50 minutes.

• After 45-50 minutes of cooking, I removed the lid of the pot and checked with a toothpick whether the flan was perfectly made. When the toothpick stick is dry, the flan is well prepared.

• The flan needs to be allowed to cool down before serving. So I waited until the temperature of the flan became normal.

• After the temperature of the flan became normal, I stored it in the refrigerator for 6 hours. After 6 hours, I took the flan out of the refrigerator and used a knife to loosen the edges of the flan from the pot.

• Now, I carefully turned the flan mold over and served the flan in the pot I used to serve it.

• I cut the flan and served it. A perfect flan was made. The inside of the flan is well-cooked.

	My Selfie with my Chocolate Flan

✓ Did you have any difficulties in making your flan?

No, I did not have any difficulties in making flan. This is my first time making this chocolate flan so I was a little scared that I would be able to make the perfect chocolate flan. I followed the flan recipe given in class to overcome my fear. As a result, I made a perfect chocolate flan.

✓ Do you have any special tips for making flan? Share it.

• While making caramel, you cannot leave the caramel on the stove and stir it continuously. Because burning the caramel will make it taste harsh.

• To make a perfect flan, you need to have a perfect mixer. A gorgeous flan will be formed if you beat the mixer for a long period, making it ideal.

• When cooking the flan in water, you must ensure that the water does not boil inside the flan.

• To unmold the flan perfectly, you have to wait for it to cool down well. If you have time, it is better to store it in the refrigerator for 6-12 hours after it cools down.

• Never unmold the flan while it is hot. Do not rush while unmolding the flan. If you try to do it quickly, it will not be possible to unmold it perfectly.
