Brazilian Flan Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare 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.

2. 2

   Blend the Flan Mixture

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

3. 3

   Combine and Bake

   Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water to create a water bath. Bake for about 1 hour or until the flan is set.

4. 4

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, 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 drizzle with the caramel sauce.
