sweet flan with goat cheese from Cape Verde

Make a caramel syrup from 200 ml water and 200 g sugar and let it cool. Make a thick, creamy sugar syrup from the 250 g sugar and 250 g water and let it cool thoroughly. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Stir the goat’s cheese until smooth and stir in the cooled syrup. Add the egg yolks and eggs until creamy and homogenous. Stir in the flour and lemon zest. Sprinkle the bottom of a greased pudding dish with caramel sauce and pour in the cheese and egg mixture. Fill a baking dish with water and place the closed (!) pudding dish in a water bath. Important: If the pudding dish doesn’t have a lid, please cover it with aluminum foil! Bake the whole thing in a water bath in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid (or aluminum foil) and bake for another 20-30 minutes, until the Pudim de Queijo is beautifully caramelized on top and begins to pull away from the edges of the pudding dish. Let cool, then turn out onto a plate sprinkled with caramel sauce and pour the remaining caramel sauce over it.
