Infuse the scraped vanilla in the hot milk and cream for 10 minutes.

Boil the infusion, remove the pods and pour over the blanched mixture while whisking.

Return to the pan and cook over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan with a whisk.

Bring to the boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and add the gelatin mass and butter. Blend.

Cover and chill for 2 hours. Cool to 4°C before use.

Whip the cream (2) until stiff and keep in a cool place.

Whip the crème pâtissière in a food processor for 5 minutes. If necessary, lightly heat the bowl with a blowtorch. Once smooth and fluffy, add the orange blossom and mix with the whipped cream.

Set aside in a cool place before poaching if necessary.

Bake 1h30 at 26°C; brown and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 35min at 160°C.

Board

Flan powder is slightly more binding than cornstarch, so you can use less than in a conventional recipe. It gives a slight elasticity to the custard. When defrosted, the custard retains the same texture without syneresis.
