Mexican Curd Flan Recipe
Mexican curd flan is essentially a curd casserole, which in its texture turns out to be very airy and soft. Added condensed milk changes the taste dramatically. Cottage cheese in it is not so strongly felt and the total mass becomes more tender. An additional flavor note brings caramel and, I also added lemon zest.

  9. Spread the curd mass on top of the caramel. Cook in an oven preheated to 170 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Remove the ready-made curd flan from the oven, let it cool a little, it falls off a little, then carefully turn it over on the dish. Decorate as desired. I sprinkled some powdered sugar and chopped nuts.
