Preparation

Caramel Preparation

1. Make the Caramel

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir gently over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

2. Cook the Caramel

Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Without stirring, allow it to boil until it turns a deep amber color, about 10-15 minutes.

3. Cool the Caramel

Immediately pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Custard Preparation

4. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

5. Blend the Custard Mixture

In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp of granulated sugar. Blend until smooth.

6. Pour Custard into Caramelized Dish

Pour the custard mixture over the set caramel in the baking dish.

7. Prepare for Baking

Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.

8. Bake the Flan

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Refrigerate

Once cooked, remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serving

10. Unmold the Flan

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the top.

11. Slice and Enjoy

Slice the flan and enjoy this creamy caramel custard dessert!
