Preparation

做果

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F.
• 在一个小锅中，将1/2杯糖和3汤匙混合在一起。水。用低火煮，偶尔搅拌，直到糖溶解为止。将热量提高到中等高，煮沸，而不会搅拌，直到开始在边缘上旋转金棕色3至5分钟。在热量上轻轻旋转锅，直到焦糖为深琥珀色，再过1至2分钟。

• 立即将热焦糖分成六个6盎司。Ramekins，每人旋转以覆盖底部。将Ramekins放在9×13英寸的烤盘中，放在一旁。
• Set a fine strainer over a 1-quart liquid measure or bowl.
• 在装有桨叶附件的立式搅拌机中，以中等速度搅拌奶油奶酪，盐和剩余的1/4杯糖，直到光滑而蓬松，约2分钟。加入蒸发和甜味的冷凝奶，并以低速混合，偶尔停下来刮下碗的侧面，直到充分混合，约2分钟。
• 加入鸡蛋，全鸡蛋和香草，并以低速混合直至充分混合。加入柠檬汁并混合直至合并。
• Pour the mixture through the strainer, then divide it evenly among the ramekins (about 1/2 cup each).
• 将非常热的水倒入烤盘中，直到它朝着小模子的侧面到一半（请注意不要将水溅入模糊）。用箔纸将锅紧紧盖住锅，直到当小模子轻轻摇动30至40分钟时，直到中心略微摇晃。
• Transfer the baking pan to a rack. Uncover and let the flans cool completely in the water bath, about 2 hours. Remove the ramekins from the water, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

Make the meringue

• 食用前长达2个小时，将1/2英寸的水用中火在锅中煮沸，该锅会在锅中放置一碗立式搅拌机，而无需让它触摸水。将热量降低到低。放火，将蛋清放入碗中，然后用气球搅拌轻轻搅拌以松开。逐渐搅拌糖。
• Put the bowl over the simmering water and whisk until the whites are very warm and the sugar is thoroughly dissolved (when you rub the whites between your fingertips, you should feel no grit), 2 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the bowl to the stand mixer and fit the mixer with the whisk attachment. Add the cream of tartar and beat on low speed until well combined. Gradually increase the speed to medium high and beat until the whites form thick, glossy, medium-firm peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.

To serve

• Holding a ramekin upright and slightly tilted in one hand, hit the side with the heel of the other hand; this breaks the vacuum and should create a small gap between the flan and the ramekin. Immediately invert the flan onto a small plate, holding the ramekin and plate together and shaking as necessary to get the flan to release. Scrape any liquid caramel from the ramekin over the flan.
• Spoon the meringue on the flans and swirl decoratively. Toast the meringue with a torch, if you like. Serve right away or keep at cool room temperature for up to 1 hour.

Make Ahead Tips

The baked flans can be refrigerated in their ramekins (wrapped in plastic) for up to 2 days.

The flans can be unmolded and topped with meringue up to 1 hour before serving.
