Curdled Flan
Needless to say, i did a major screw up today and overcooked/curdled my 20 small ramekins of orange flan. flavor is good but they're mealy, like a ricotta cheesecake, kinda. I made others at the correct temp and they are fine, but have you ever done anything successful w/ curdled flan? The only idea i had was to beat together soft cream cheese and some flans til they taste right and make something w/ that - like a refrigerator pie, but i seriously doubt the curdle/mealy texture will go away . Your thoughts? thx much.
oh,in this flan i used egg yolks, eggs, heavy cream, o.j., orange zest,sugar.

I've never had a success with uncurdling flan or other milk-based desserts. As far as I know, you can't uncurdle milk.
