Homemade Flan
A smooth and creamy custard dessert topped with a rich caramel sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cup White sugar
- 6 Large eggs
- 2 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 2 tbsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Turn the oven on to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Melt the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it is melted and golden. Pour heated syrup into a deep 9-inch round glass baking dish, stirring to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs together. Beat together vanilla, evaporated milk, and condensed milk until smooth. Pour egg mixture over caramel in baking dish and set in a deep roasting pan. Pour in enough boiling water to reach 1 inch up the edges of the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until just set with a tiny jiggle in the center. Check after 55 minutes. Keep in mind that the flan will continue to set while it cools. After taking the baking dish out of the oven, carefully slide it to a wire rack. Cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap to avoid skin formation. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or 3 hours.
- Run a knife along the sides of the dish, delicately flip it onto a serving plate with a rim, and cover the flan with caramel sauce to serve.
