Caramel
Flan Base
Method
Caramel Preparation
- 1
Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
- 2
Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture turns a golden brown color. This should take about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- 3
Immediately pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool.
Flan Preparation
- 4
- 5
Blend on high until smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.

Pour and Bake
Carefully pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
- 7
Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- 8
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Unmold
Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

To unmold, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert it onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the flan.
