1 tsp lemongrass, grated
1 tbsp honey
juice and zest of 1 lime

1 vanilla bean
8 egg yolks
500 ml milk
40 g coconut blossom sugar
500 ml coconut cream

60 g coconut blossom sugar
2 tbsp water

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Prepare your molds on a baking sheet.

For the caramel, pour the coconut blossom sugar into a saucepan. Set it over medium heat until the sugar starts to melt. Let it color until it becomes a foamy brown caramel. Do not stir.

Divide the caramel among the molds.

Put the milk and coconut cream in a bowl and heat it up. You can also place the scraped vanilla pod in the pan so that the flavor of the vanilla pod can infuse nicely with the milk.

Put the coconut blossom sugar and the seeds from the vanilla pod in a bowl.

Add the egg yolks to this mixture.

Whisk this well and add a splash of milk.

This way, the sugar can melt nicely. Then, while stirring, add the rest of the milk.

Strain this mixture.

Mix well and divide it among the molds.

Place all the molds on a plate and steam for 40 minutes on high steam. (This means steaming at 90°C with 50% steam and 50% heat).

Let them cool completely and place them in the refrigerator overnight to set.

For the salsa, finely chop the strawberries.

Add the grated lemongrass, the zest and juice of the lime, along with the honey, and mix everything well.

Before serving, carefully loosen the edge of the flan from the molds.

Place a plate on top and turn it over.

Serve with the strawberry salad.

Tips

Depending on the season, you can replace the strawberries with, for example, pineapple, kiwi, mango, ... The strawberry salad is also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or lime orbet.
