Ingredients for Your Flan Gelinho:
- 1/2 carton (approx. 3.5 oz) heavy cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4.2 cups (1 liter) whole milk
- 4 tbsp powdered milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp (10g) ice pop stabilizer (liga neutra)
Instructions:
- Prepare the caramel sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a golden brown. Carefully add the water and butter, whisking until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, mix well, and set aside to cool.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, powdered milk, egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and stabilizer. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a cream. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the caramel and cream have cooled, pour a small amount of caramel into each popsicle bag. Fill the remainder of the bag with the flan cream.
- Tie the bags securely and place them in the freezer until completely frozen.
Pro Tip for the Perfect Flan Gelinho:
To maintain that perfectly creamy texture, avoid stacking the bags on top of each other in the freezer. This will help them maintain a uniform shape and an irresistible appearance.
Prep Time: 20 minutes.
Yield: Makes 6 to 12 servings, depending on the size of the bags used. It’s the perfect batch size to start your own side business!
