Cherry flan

This rich flan is very easy to do, it is also very original to offer your guests. Remember that it is time of cherries, so you have to use them!

Ingredients for 2 individual custards:
- 5.3 oz of cherries
- 1.5 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 oz of water
- 1 teaspoon of agar-agar powder 
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons of liquid caramel 
- Icing sugar


Recipe:
- Wash the cherries, scrape out the bone and cut into 3-4 pieces each.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, heat half the water with sugar and cherries, when it begins to boil reduce heat and let it cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until it has reduced and the fruit has been squishy.
- Strain through a sieve and squeeze with a spoon the remaining cherries. Reserve.
- Add two tablespoons of candy to each mold and store in the fridge.
- In another saucepan, heat until it begins to boil the remaining water with the cherry syrup that we have prepared, agar-agar and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl or cup mix the cornstarch with a dash of water.
- When the mixture begins to boil, leave two minutes and then remove from heat.
- Add the cornstarch and stir everything well.
- Return to heat it over low heat for 2 minutes while you continue moving until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Fill the molds with the mixture and let cool to room temperature, then put them in the fridge for 2 hours to curdle well.
- Unmold and garnish with powdered sugar and a cherry in the center of the flan.

Bon appetit!
