  2. For the flan: Boil water for the bath.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C.
  4. Beat all ingredients with a balloon whisk without incorporating too much air. Using a strainer, strain and pour over the caramel.
  5. Bake in a water bath (place the pudding mold inside another larger pie pan and cover halfway with boiling water)
  6. Bake for 45 minutes. Ensure that this is cooked by burying a knife. It should come out clean.

    How can you substitute lucuma powder for the puree. The puree is not available in the Raleigh area.
