Toasted Oatmeal and Whiskey Flan

Whiskey Flan Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  
• 2-ounces granulated sugar
  
• 5 egg yolks
  
• 1 teaspoon Irish Whiskey

Toasted Oatmeal Streusel:

• 3 tablespoons butter
  
• ¼ cup all purpose flour
  
• ½ tablespoon cinnamon
  
• 1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
  
• 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  
• ¼ cup oatmeal
  
• ½ walnut pieces

Heat the cream and sugar over a double boiler until the sugar dissolves and reaches a temperature of 100ºF degrees, stirring constantly.

Place the egg yolks into a medium sized mixing bowl.

Slowly mix in the cream mixture and whiskey in 1/3 increments until the mixture is completely blended.

In a flat bottom baking dish, place 6 custard cups and fill the baking dish with water until the level reaches half way up the custard cups.

Evenly portion the flan mixture between the six custard cups.

Place in 350ºF degree oven for 1 ½ hours. Cool overnight.

Prepare streusel topping by melting the butter in a saucepan.

Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Add melted butter to dry ingredients and mix until the streusel becomes crumbly.

Spread mixture onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350ºF degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Top cooled flan with streusel before serving.
