Jelly Flan Recipe

This Jelly Flan Recipe is an easy to do dish made of whole eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla, gelatin (or gulaman powder), water, and sugar. All mixed and simmered till it turns into a smooth pudding-like liquid, placed into molds that have been lined with caramel. Chilled for some time before being served! This doesn’t need so much effort but is still absolutely delicious!

Jelly Flan Recipe:

Ingredients

Caramel

• 2 tablespoons of sugar for each llanera
• Yield : 6 llaneras = 12 tablespoons of sugar

For the Jelly Flan

• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 can evaporated milk (370ml)
• 1 can condensed milk (390g)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 cups water
• 1 pack unflavored gelatin powder (Mr. Gulaman)
• ½ cup sugar (adjust as needed)

Steps:

For the Caramel

1. Place the llanero over a gas stove, add in the sugar. Caramelize at low heat, using tongs moving the llanera around to make sure the caramel covers the whole bottom pan.
2. Once the color turns golden and bubbly, set this aside and repeat for the other llaneras. 

For the Jelly Flan

1. In a bowl, beat in the eggs, before pouring in the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla. Mix well. Strain into another bowl and set aside.
2. In a pan, add in water, sugar, and the gelatin. Mix well until most of the sugar has dissolved.
3. Bring to a boil at medium heat, then to very low heat once it starts to bubble. Mix till the sugar dissolves, slowly add the egg-milk mixture while stirring continuously. Continue stirring to avoid any curdles. Cook and stir for around 8 minutes.
4. Pour over the llaneras coated in caramel. Fill in just enough that there is still 1 – 2 cm of space. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
5. Flip over a plate, carefully pull the llanera away from the plate. Enjoy!

How to make Jelly Flan Recipe with Whole Eggs

This easy jelly flan is not a far cry from the deliciously sweet and decadent traditional “Leche Flan” that has to be steamed in a large steamer or a bran marie method using the oven. Similar to the traditional version, the caramel is made directly in the pan by adding some sugar into the metallic/aluminum mold, heating it directly over the stove. Melting till it caramelizes into a golden liquid that’s spread all around the bottom and a bit to the sides. This caramelized bottom also acts as the ‘grease’ that helps make the pudding easier to remove later on.

This version just needs a bit of effort in stirring together the custard mixture with the jelly mixture. Combined it stabilizes the custard without needing to be steamed and cooked again, this only needs to be left in the fridge for a few minutes or an hour or so till it’s stable enough to flip over with a plate. This makes not only for an easy to do dessert anyone can make, it can also make for a good food business startup option. A jelly flan business plan made of just a few ingredients, a stove, pot, and a bit of time in the fridge and you’re ready to go!

Questions:

• Does it really have to be in a llanera?

You can also use any metallic mold, but if there is none, skip the caramel, or use very cooled caramel and place this in a cup to make a “Jelly Flan in a cup”.

• No gelatin available?

Use unflavored gulaman or agar agar. Though agar agar might make the texture too thick/dense. It would be best to use gelatin or gulaman as your ‘stabilizer’.

• Can you add different flavorings?

Add syrups, flavorings, or fruits to make jelly fruit flan and other flavors such as:

• Coffee powder or syrup for “Coffee Jelly Flan recipe”.
• Ube for “Ube Jelly Flan”.
• Mango or Strawberry juice(concentrate) or syrup to make “Strawberry Jelly Flan” or “Mango Jelly Flan recipe” respectively.
• Buko Pandan flavoring for “Buko Pandan Jelly Flan“.
• You can also add in fruits or a choice of ingredients like corn to make “Gelatin with Corn”, “Fruit Jelly Flan recipe”, or a “Jelly Flan with Fruit Cocktail recipe”. This is by straining the choice of fruit or ingredients before adding the strained fruits into the flan mixture.
