Nutritional values

For a cream, there is little fat in it, and the mix of sugar and sweetener means that everything else is in order in terms of calories. In addition to a beautiful appearance, there is a lot of fresh aroma and plenty of vitamin C from the freshly squeezed orange juice.

The eggs ensure that the flan falters or becomes firm in the water bath. They also bring protein and a good portion of all vitamins (except vitamin C) to the dessert.

Add half of the sugar to the juice. Season with liquid sweetener to taste. Add eggs and beat with a hand mixer until creamy, but not frothy. Add the grated orange zest.

Insert a wooden skewer into the centers of the flans. If skewer comes out clean, the flans are done. Remove ramekins from the pot and let cool for at least 2 hours.
