Method

To Prepare the Caramel

  1. 1

    Make the Caramel

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Caramel

    Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Do not stir. Allow it to cook until it turns a deep amber color, approximately 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour the Caramel

    Quickly pour the caramel into a round flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

To Prepare the Flan Mixture

  1. 4

    Blend the Flan Ingredients

    In a blender, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, 3 large eggs, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.

  2. 5

    Pour the Mixture

    Carefully pour the flan mixture over the set caramel in the mold or ramekins.

To Bake the Flan

  1. 6

    Prepare the Water Bath

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan mold in a larger baking pan and add hot water to the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold.

  2. 7

    Bake the Flan

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

  3. 8

    Cool the Flan

    Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

To Serve the Flan

  1. 9

    Unmold the Flan

    To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the mold. Invert the mold onto a plate to release the flan, allowing the caramel to flow over it.

  2. 10

    Enjoy

    Slice the flan and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious homemade flan!
