Luscious Flan

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 can evaporated skimmed milk
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 3/4 cup egg substitute
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. almond extract
• 2 cup assorted fresh fruit

Directions:

Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan; place over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until sugar melts and syrup is light golden brown. Pour syrup into 6 custard cups; let cool. Combine milks in a medium saucepan, and heat until bubbles form around edge of pan. Combine egg substitute, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and almond extract; beat well. Gradually stir about 1 cup hot milk into egg mixture; add to remaining milk, stirring constantly.

Pour mixture evenly into custard cups; cover with aluminum foil. Place custard cups in a shallow pan; pour hot water to a depth of 1 inch into pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cups from water and chill at least 4 hours. To serve, loosen edges of custard with a spatula; invert onto plates. Arrange assorted fresh fruit around sides.
