1
Make the Caramel
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown color, swirling the pan gently to ensure even cooking.
2
Coat the Flan Dish
Immediately pour the caramel into a round flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to let it harden.

3
Blend the Flan Base
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and ground chipotle pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.
4
Pour Mixture into Mold
Pour the blended flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the prepared mold or ramekins.
5
Bake the Flan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan mold inside a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water to create a water bath. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6
Cool and Refrigerate
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
7
Serve the Flan
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, then invert onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the flan. Slice and enjoy!
