Flan Cubano

Flan Cubano is a traditional Cuban dessert, a rich and creamy caramel custard served chilled.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is golden brown.
Pour the caramel syrup into a flan mold or round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the egg mixture into the caramel-coated mold.
Place the mold in a larger baking dish and add enough hot water to the larger dish to come halfway up the sides of the mold.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the mold from the water bath and let cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the flan, then invert onto a serving plate.
