## The Perfect Marriage: Cookies and Flan

What happens when the crunch of cookies meets the silky smoothness of flan? You get Cookie Flan!

This dish was inspired by our trip to Rouen in France during the end of 2022. I was these interesting looking cakes that were dying to be tasted!

So I searched online and tried out [Yumelise' recipe](https://www.yumelise.fr/flankie-flan-cookie/) to see if I can replicate this dessert.

So far I can tell you that this dish is really worth a try!

## Ingredients

### For the Cookie Dough

- 100g unsalted butter
- 50g sugar
- 75g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 140g flour
- 2g salt
- 1g baking powder
- 100g dark chocolate chips

### For the Flan

- 500g whole milk
- 150g double cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 100g sugar
- 40g cornstarch
- 40g unsalted butter

## Method

### Creating the Cookie Base

1. Cream the butter and sugars together until you've got a light a fluffy mixture.
2. Then, whisk in the egg until combined.
3. Gradually add in the flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing just until combined.
4. Toss in the dark chocolate chips and give it a final stir.
5. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours or even overnight.
6. Once chilled, roll out the dough to 6mm and line a 7-inch springform pan.
7. Put back in the in the freezer while you're prepping the custard.

### Creating the Flan

1. To make the flan, heat the milk, vanilla, and cream in a saucepan, stirring continuously until it hits around 70°C.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and cornstarch.
3. Temper this mixture by pouring in a third of the warm milk mixture while stirring constantly.
4. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan and continue whisking until it thickens.
5. Pour this custard mix over the prepared cookie dough in the springform pan.

### Baking

1. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170°C for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden.
2. Let it cool overnight before serving to allow the flan to set and for the flavours to develop.

## Tips and Tricks

- When creaming butter and sugar, ensure your butter is at room temperature. It'll make the process smoother.
- Be patient when mixing your dough. Overmixing can lead to a tough cookie, and nobody wants that!
- When rolling out the cookie dough, you'll have to work in a cool environment to prevent the dough from melting. You will have to work quickly the hotter your room temperature is.
- Be sure to flour your surface sufficiently to prevent the cookie dough from sticking to your work surface.
- When making the custard, be sure continously mix the milk and cream mixture to prevent it from burning at the bottom of the pan.
- When preparing the egg and sugar mixture, do not leave the eggs and sugar together unmixed to prevent the egg from clumping.
- Be sure to temper the egg and sugar mixture by gradually adding the hot milk and cream mixture into the egg mixture. Do not do it the other way around by adding the egg into the saucepan as the saucepan will be too hot and will cook the eggs.
- Bake at 170C and not any higher. Keep an eye on the flan to see its progress. To test for doneness, give it a little jiggle to see if the centre is no longer liquid and if it has already set.
- Use a 7-inch or 18cm diameter spring-form pan or cake ring with a height of around 3-inches or 8cm. This will make it easier to un-mould the cake.
- Chill the cake overnight before un-moulding the cake to prevent it from breaking apart.
- If using a regular cake tin, line it with parchment paper on the bottom and the sides. Put enough parchment paper on the sides that you can lift the whole cake out of the pan.
- Note that Lining the tin with parchment paper will make it more difficult to form the cookie onto the pan. No amount of greasing or flouring will prevent the cookie dough from sticking onto the pan.
- Don't be tempted to slice into your Cookie Flan immediately after baking. The overnight rest allows the flavors to fully develop and the texture to set perfectly.

## Ingredient Substitutes

If you're having trouble finding some ingredients or if dietary restrictions are a concern, here are some swaps that can help:

- Substitute the double cream with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Note that the flan will be less creamy due to this substitution and will have a more nutty taste.
- Gluten-free? Use gluten-free flour in place of the regular flour.
- If you're watching your sugar intake, you can swap out the sugars for a natural sweetener like stevia.

Christmas in the Philippines is a grand affair, and the fruitcake is a popular gift to friends and loved ones.

This dense yet moist cake is packed with a variety of dried fruits and nuts, all soaked in liquor, giving it a rich and distinct flavor.

It's not just a dessert - it's a slice of Filipino culture and tradition.

## A Brief History

Fruitcake, for many, is synonymous with the holiday season. Its origins trace back to ancient Rome, where a primitive version was made with pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, and barley mash. Over centuries, the recipe evolved, and each culture added its unique touch.

The Filipino Christmas Fruitcake is a testament to the Philippines' rich history and diverse culinary influences. Embellished with an assortment of dried fruits and nuts, it boasts an irresistible aroma of spices and a hearty texture that leaves you yearning for more.

## Ingredients

## For the Soaked Fruit and Nuts

- 500g of mixed dried fruits
- 150g of raisins or sultanas
- 100g of pitted dates, or other dried fruits
- 300g of mixed nuts
- 120g of rum or brandy

## For the Batter

- 60g of butter
- 110g of brown sugar

- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg

2. Once thoroughly soaked, initiate the creaming process. Start with the butter and sugar, gradually introducing the eggs, honey, molasses, and orange juice.
3. Gather all the dry ingredients, mixing them together before introducing them to the wet ingredients. Remember, a gentle hand is key here, overmixing could be your undoing.
4. Gently fold the soaked fruit and nut mixture into the batter.
5. Distribute the batter into two 8-inch pans lined with parchment paper. Bake at 150C for around 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
6. For the final touch, brush all sides with brandy or rum. This not only imparts additional flavor but also gives the cake an appealing gloss.

Filipino Christmas Fruitcake pairs beautifully with a warm cup of tea or coffee. For a more festive feel, serve it with a glass of red wine or eggnog.

### Can I use fresh fruits instead of dried ones?

For this recipe, dried fruits work best as they absorb the rum or brandy and enhance the overall flavor of the cake. Fresh fruits may not yield the same results.

### What if I don't have brandy or rum?

You can use apple juice or another fruit juice as a non-alcoholic substitute.

### What's the best time to start preparing the Filipino Christmas Fruitcake?

The beauty of this fruitcake is that it tastes even better with time. Start preparing a week or two before Christmas for the flavors to develop.

### Is it necessary to brush the cake with alcohol after baking?

Brushing the cake with alcohol not only adds flavor but also helps preserve the cake. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can skip this step or use fruit juice instead.


Indulge in this rich, moist and flavourful Filipino fruitcake recipe made with dried fruits and nuts soaked in brandy. Perfect as a gift for the holidays.

## The Unbeatable Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings

If you're craving a fiery twist to your regular chicken wings, then say hello to the Korean Gochujang Chicken Wings!

This dish cleverly combines the heat of Korean chili paste and pepper flakes with the subtle sweetness of honey and mirin, promising a delightful culinary adventure.

So, what's the secret sauce behind the magic of these wings? It's Gochujang - a Korean chili paste that's a mix of spicy, sweet, and umami flavors, and an absolute game-changer in the kitchen.

## Ingredients

- 500 grams of chicken wings
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Korean chili paste (Gochujang)
- 1 tbsp Korean chili pepper flakes (Gochugaru)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 4 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic, minced

## Crafting the Gochujang Wings

1. Mix all the ingredients together to form the marinade.
2. Sprinkle the chicken wings with a dash of salt and pepper. For even cooking, punch holes into the thickest parts of the wings.
3. Immerse the chicken wings in the marinade, ensuring they're well-coated. Let them sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours or even overnight to fully absorb the flavors.
4. Bake the marinated wings, covered in foil, in the oven at 180 C or 350 F for about 30 minutes. The foil will protect the wings from burning.
5. Garnish your dish with green onions, sesame seeds, and lemon wedges. Dig in and enjoy!

## Sneaky Substitutes

Can't find all the ingredients? Don't sweat it! You can replace the Korean chili paste with a mix of red pepper flakes, soy sauce, and a touch of sugar. And if you can't find mirin, a splash of white wine or rice vinegar will do the trick. Remember, cooking is all about improvising!

## A Nutritious Bite

Given the serving size of 100 grams each serving has around:

- Calories: 290
- Carbohydrate Content: 10g

- Protein Content: 18g
- Saturated Fat Content: 5g

## The Perfect Pairings

Complement your Gochujang Chicken Wings with a side of cool cucumber salad or crunchy kimchi slaw. Trust us, it's a match made in heaven!

## Insider's Tips for Your Wings

- Want the wings to absorb more flavor? Let them marinate overnight. The longer, the better!
- You can marinate the wings on a covered bowl and leave inside you fridge. Never leave raw chicken outside to avoid the risk of bacteria.
- For extra crunch, try double frying your wings. Just be careful not to burn them.
- If you like it extra spicy, add more Gochujang or Gochugaru. But beware, it's not for the faint-hearted!
- If you have chicken wing portions that are a bit chunky and thick in the middle, poke some holes in them using a fork to try and open the space up to help it cook faster.
- If you want to store the chicken wings in the freezer for future use, you can put the chicken wings in a re-sealable container with the marinate. On the day of cooking, defrost the chicken wings in your fridge for 10-12 hours or until the pieces come apart.
- To prevent the chicken wings from burning, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Also, set the heat to no more than 180C or 350F.
- Be sure to check the chicken wings for doneness before eating. The center should not have any red juices or meat that looks reddish.
- Serve with some lemon or lime to help cut the fattiness of the dish.

## What Can You Serve With Gochujang Chicken Wings?

I'll be happy to eat these by themselves as a hearty snack, but these go well with the following:

- white rice
- garlic fried rice
- egg fried rice
- pickled vegetables
- Kimchi
- steamed, boiled or stir-fried vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, etc.

## What is Gochujang?

Gochujang is a chili paste popular in Korea that is made up of Korean chili peppers.

Gochujang has a deep red colour with a very savoury, slightly sweet, smoky and slightly chili taste. This flavour is usually what Korean cuisine is associated with.

Gochujang is ready to use and does not need to be cooked before eaten. Gochujang sauce can actually be mixed with rice and egg for a very quick hearty snack.

There are different levels of spiciness for Gochujang. Be sure to get the one that is appropriate for you.

## What are the Ingredient Substitutes for this Recipe?

If you don't have Gochujang, you can make the same chicken wings recipe with the following substitutes:

- Substitute Sriracha sauce or other thick chili sauce for Gochujang.
- Substitute paprika powder for the Gochugaru
- Instead of Mirin, you can use 4 tbsp of rice vinegar plus 2 tsp of sugar. You can reduce the honey content to your taste.
- Instead of Chicken wings, you can use this marinade for chicken breast, pork pieces or even beef stir fry. Be sure to cut your meat into roughly the same size so they cook at the same time.
- If you don't have garlic powder, you can simply increase the amount of chopped garlic as you want. The more garlic, the better!
- If you have some Hoisin sauce, you can replace honey and/or Oyster suace with this.

Of course, with all these substitutes, you might lose the original flavour of the dish, but you might also happen to invent one of your new favourite recipe!

## FAQ

### Is it necessary to marinate the wings overnight?

While not necessary, marinating the wings overnight helps them absorb more flavor, resulting in a tastier dish.

### Can I use chicken thighs instead of wings?

Absolutely! You can use any part of the chicken. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

### How spicy are Gochujang Chicken Wings?

The level of spice in Gochujang Chicken Wings can be adjusted to taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Gochujang and Gochugaru.

Yes, grilling the wings can add a smoky flavor that pairs well with the spicy-sweet marinade. Just be sure to turn them frequently to prevent burning.

### Can I make the dish vegetarian?

Yes, you can use tofu or cauliflower as a chicken substitute to make a vegetarian version of Gochujang Wings.

### What is the origin of Gochujang?

## A Buttery Delight

Butter cake is a classic favorite, but Chef RV takes it to the next level with a touch of lemon zest and a secret creaming method. This article will guide you through the process of making this delightful cake, offering tips and tricks from the chef himself.

## Ingredients

- 225 grams (1 cup) salted butter
- 400 grams (2 cups) white sugar
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 4 whole eggs
- 375 grams (3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 360 grams (1 ½ cups) cream (heavy OR thickened OR all-purpose)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

## Method

### Sift the Dry Ingredients

Sifting the dry ingredients is more than just mixing; it's about combining, aerating, and removing impurities. Chef RV recommends sifting the flour, baking powder, and baking soda at least twice, but not too much, as you might lose essential particles.

### Create the Homemade Sour Cream

Mixing lemon juice with heavy cream creates a homemade sour cream. This addition helps tenderize the cake and make it moist. You can also use store-bought sour cream, but utilizing the lemon's juice adds a special touch.

### Creaming the Butter

The creaming method involves beating butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Chef RV uses salted butter, a preference developed from his childhood baking experiences. The lemon zest is added to spread the essential oils, and the eggs are added one at a time. This method requires patience but results in a stable, fluffy mixture.

### Baking and Presentation

Bake the cake in a buttered bundt pan or any shape you prefer at 160°C (320°F) for 1 hour. You can even make it a Rum Butter Cake by brushing it with rum syrup. Presentation matters, so choose a beautiful holder and enjoy the picture-perfect result.

Please note that in Chef RV's YouTube clip, he mentioned 160C or around 350F, however 160C is more like 320F.
