Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Step 2
Combine ½ cup sugar with lime juice and water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until mixture has a deep caramel color. Keep scraping down sides of pan and watch carefully because the sugar will burn easily. Immediately pour into an 8-cup souffle mold and set aside.
- Step 3
Warm the milk and add the ginger and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain out ginger and vanilla bean.
- Step 4
Whisk together the remaining 1½ cups sugar and the eggs. Beat in the milk and mix well.
- Step 5
Pour the flan into the mold and place in a shallow pan filled with warm water. Bake for 1 hour, 10 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes, until custard is set. Remove from oven and cool. Refrigerate when cooled and let set about 3 hours.
- Step 6
Unmold on serving plate; the caramel will have turned to liquid and become a light sauce. Arrange the papaya slices in the sauce and serve.
- Recipe may be prepared a day ahead.
