Flan
This creamy and caramelized dessert is a classic favorite. It's smooth, rich, and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients - Serves 6
- Water - 1/4 cup
- Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
- Evaporated milk - 1 can (12 oz)
- Sweetened condensed milk - 1 can (14 oz)
- Eggs - 4
- Granulated sugar - 1 cup
Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden caramel. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan or roasting pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the flan dish, creating a water bath.
- Carefully transfer the pans to the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover the flan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top of the flan dish and carefully invert it to release the flan. The caramel sauce will flow over the top.
- Slice and serve the flan chilled, drizzling each slice with the caramel sauce.
