How to Make Easy Japanese Flan

      Today, I made these Japanese flans, which are called purin (プリン) in Japanese. When I lived in Japan, I used to purchase some kinds of flans (regular flan, coffee flan, matcha flan and so on) at convenience stores and supermarkets. If you are planning on visiting Japan, you should find delicious Japanese desserts (usually about 150 yen to 350 yen) at convenience store there. Since I live in the U.S. now, it's very hard to find Japanese flan here. That's why when I miss Japanese flan, I make one at home. Actually, making Japanese flan is pretty easy. Today, I'm going to share how to make easy Japanese flan with you. 

Ingredients (6 Servings)
4 Eggs (Beaten)
6 Tablespoons of Sugar
2 Cups of Milk 

Garnish
Strawberries (Sliced)
Whipped Heavy Cream
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder



 1. Mix beaten eggs and sugar, and stir them well with a whisk. Then, add milk. Stir mixture well.

2. Strain mixture through a fine tea strainer into custard cups.

3. Cover the cups with foil.



4. Boil a large pan. Turn off the heat, and place the cups into boiling water.



5. Cover the lid and turn on the heat. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.

6. Turn off the heat and wait for another 10 minutes.



7. Take off the cups from the pan. Let them cool in room temperature. Then, chill the cups for over four hours in the refrigerator. 

8. Garnish with strawberries and whipped cream. Sprinkle cocoa powder over it. Enjoy!

     By the way, I uploaded this video, How to Make Creamy Japanese Coffee Flan, on my YouTube Channel last year. Making coffee flan is also very easy. :)
