Flan Base Preparation

Caramel Sauce Preparation

Make the Caramel
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil until it turns a golden caramel color.

Coat the Flan Mold
Quickly pour the caramel into a round flan mold, tilting the mold to coat the bottom evenly. Be careful as the caramel will be extremely hot.
Baking the Flan

Combine Flan and Caramel
Pour the strained flan mixture into the caramel-coated mold.

Bake the Flan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan mold in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the Flan
Remove the flan from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving the Flan
- 8
Unmold the Flan
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan mold to loosen it. Place a serving plate upside down over the mold and quickly flip it to invert the flan onto the plate.
- 9
Serve Chilled
Slice the flan and serve chilled, drizzling any caramel sauce from the plate over each slice.
