Brazilian Flan Recipe

Make the Caramel

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and cook until it melts and turns a golden brown color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Blend the Flan Mixture

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Combine and Bake

Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish. 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. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set.

Cool and Serve

Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and allow the caramel to drizzle over the top.
