Flan

Tres Leches Cake

Pecan Cookie Crumble

Method

Flan

  1. 1

    Prepare the Caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it becomes a golden-brown liquid. Quickly pour it into the bottom of a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.

  2. 2

    Mix Flan Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Bake the Flan

    Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with water to create a water bath. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until set. Let it cool before refrigerating.

Tres Leches Cake

  1. 4

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  2. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan.

  3. 6

    Soak the Cake

    In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the surface with a fork and pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

  1. 7

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, softened butter, chopped pecans, and salt until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 8

    Spread the crumble mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Layer the Cake

    Once the flan is set and the cake is soaked, carefully layer the tres leches cake on top of the flan in the baking dish.

  2. 10

    Add the Crumble

    Finally, sprinkle the cooled pecan cookie crumble generously on top of the cake layer.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
