Instructions

  • Wash the strawberries and strain well. Cut into halves and discard the top and leaves.
  • In a bowl with an immersion blender or a food processor, process the strawberries until a smooth texture is achieved.
  • Add the condensed milk into the bowl and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl add the eggs and whisk well with a rod blender or a whisk.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream to the whisked eggs and mix.
  • Combine both bowls making sure to mix well.
  • In a saucepan add the strawberries for the syrup (washed, halved and top removed) alongside the sugar. Cook on medium-high heat and smash with a spoon or spatula until a thick texture is formed. If needed add a splash of water to make it a bit runnier.
  • Process if needed with a food processor or immersion blender until a smooth texture is achieved.
  • Add a tablespoon of the strawberry syrup to the bottom of each of the flan molds.
  • Top up each mold with the flan mixture making sure to leave a bit of room on top.
  • Place the filled flan molds into a baking tray. Add water up until the middle of the flan molds and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Cook in the oven for 45 minutes at 190 C/375 F.
  • Let cool on a rack outside of the oven. Then transfer to the fridge and let sit for at least 3 hours.
  • Run a knife carefully alongside the borders of the flan molds to release the flans.
  • Flip and serve on small plates with some more of the strawberry syrup and some whipped cream.
