Flan de Champagne 
This flan is my variation of a classic Latin American dessert that is usually made with milk.
4 servings
Ingredients:
Custard
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 eggs, whole
- 3 egg yolks
- 2-1/2 cups champagne
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
Caramel
- 1 cup white sugar
Preparation
Pre-heat the oven to 325F (170C). Butter 6 small custard cups 6 oz or one large and place in a shallow baking pan. Heat one cup sugar in a small pan until syrupy and golden brown in color. Pour syrup evenly into prepared custard cups. Beat eggs, egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar in a large bowl until thick and pale. Gradually add champagne, lemon peel and cinnamon; beat until combined.
Pour custard mixture into prepared cups. Make a water bath by pouring enough hot water into baking pan to come half way up sides of the custard cups. Bake 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in center of custards comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely. Carefully remove from the water bath. Refrigerate overnight or until ready to serve.
[Chef’s Note: This little custards benefit from a night in the refrigerator so that the hard caramel base can slowly melt into a syrup. They are the perfect dessert for dinner parties because you can prepare them in advance. After removing them from the water bath, let cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until completely chilled before serving.]
Service
Invert flan onto individual serving dishes, letting the syrup run down sides of the
custard.
Have a delicious Tuesday!

I am not sure I could make this one. I would probably just put the eggs back in the refrigerator and drink the champagne.

Gorgeous variation of the Latin American Caramel Pudding!
{What I would add to this already excellent dessert is that you can use it as the most economical base for desserts.
Concisely you can flank the flan with buttered biscuit powder and top it fruity sorbets or whipped fruit pulp and nuts to present the most exotic desserts.
Flan is one such dessert that gives you full scope to exercise your creativity. As you have already made it rich with champagne, do not hesitate to indulge a bit more with a luscious topping of chocolate mousse and the seasonal mango fruit.
Love,
Esther
