Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 100 g + 75 g + 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Espresso powder or 1 cup of espresso (instant)
  • 200 g Whipped cream
  • 1⁄4 l Milk
  • 2 eggs + 4 egg yolks (Gr. M)
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Lemon juice
  • 2 Peaches
  • 300 g Honeydew melon

Directions

  1. 1

    The day before, caramelise 100 g sugar with 4 tablespoons of water in a pan until golden brown. Pour into an ovenproof pudding mould (approx. 800 ml content; alternatively a small box mould) and let it cool down.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 150 °C/circulating air: 125 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Dissolve espresso powder in 5 tbsp. hot water. Whisk espresso with cream, milk, 75 g sugar, eggs and egg yolk. Pour through a sieve onto the caramel in the mould.

  3. 3

    Place the mould on the fat pan (deep baking tray) and pour on so much hot water that the mould for 2⁄3 is in the water. Leave in the hot oven on the lower shelf for about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, let it cool down and put it in a cool place overnight.

  4. 4

    The next day mix lemon juice and 1 teaspoon sugar. Wash, halve and stone the peaches and cut them into thin slices. Remove seeds from melon. Cut the flesh from the skin and dice finely.

  5. 5

    Mix fruit with lemon juice. Turn over flan and serve with fruit salad.
