Ingredients
- 1 (5.5-ounce) box flan mix with caramel sauce (recommended: Royal)
- 4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cherry extract
- 1 cup frozen cherries, thawed
Directions
In medium saucepan, whisk together flan mix, milk, and almond extract. Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Remove pouch of caramel sauce from flan package. In a small bowl, stir together caramel sauce and cherry extract. Divide among 8 (6-ounce) ramekins, about 1/2 teaspoon in each. Drop 2 or 3 cherries into each ramekin.
Carefully pour 1/2 cup of flan mixture into each ramekin. Mixture will thicken as it cools. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. To serve flan, run a knife around the inside of the ramekin, place a dessert plate upside down over ramekin. Invert plate and ramekin. Remove ramekin and serve immediately.

I love Flan but my husband hates it. I decided to try this out on him. Unfortunately, I could not find Cherry Extract or Frozen Cherries at my local Grocery Store. They did have Rasberry Extract and Frozen Rasberries so I used those instead. IT WAS DELICIOUS and my husband really liked it. I wound up making it twice for him in the same week. Thank you Sandra Lee!!!!

This is amazing! I'm actally eating this cherry flan as I'm typing this! Sandra Lee always has the most creative ideas, and I think this is the most creative! I'm used to eating the everyday flan at my loal Mexican resteraunts, but this one has a twist! I made this for my whole family a couple days ago, and everyone loved it and went back for 2nds, and 3rds, & even 4ths!! It's also extremely easy to make, and you guys have to give it a try! If this isn't the best dessert you've ever tried, I don't know what ever will be!
:D
