The method focuses on maximizing flavor with minimal steps, using common pantry items and fresh ingredients. From the first bite you’ll notice a balance of texture and taste that feels both familiar and exciting.

INGREDIENTS
For the Flan:
500 ml (2 cups) whole milk
3 large eggs
120 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
2 tsp matcha powder, sifted
For the Mango Coulis:
1 cup fresh mango chunks (or frozen, thawed)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Flan Mixture:
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
In a saucepan, gently warm the milk (do not boil). Stir in the matcha powder until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until combined. Gradually add the warm matcha milk, whisking continuously.
Bake the Flan:
Pour the mixture into ramekins. Place them in a baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Prepare the Mango Coulis:
Blend the mango chunks with sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Strain through a sieve for a silky texture. Chill in the refrigerator.
Chill and Serve:
Once baked, let the flans cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Unmold the flans and drizzle with mango coulis before serving.
Pro Tips:
Use high-quality matcha for a vibrant green color and authentic flavor.
Adjust the sweetness of the coulis based on the ripeness of your mangoes.
