Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup whole milk (optional, for slightly thinner consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns into a golden caramel. Quickly pour the caramel into a round 9-inch cake pan or flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Pour the milk mixture over the cooled caramel in the pan.
- Place the flan pan inside a larger baking dish and add hot water to the outer dish to create a water bath.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan, invert onto a plate, and let the caramel sauce flow over the top.
Notes
- Be careful when working with hot caramel, as it can cause burns.
- Use a blender or whisk to ensure a smooth custard mixture.
- Chilling the flan overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
