instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat to create the caramel. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown color (about 10 minutes).

    3

    Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom. Be careful as the caramel is very hot.

    4

    In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined (about 1 minute).

    5

    Pour the milk mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

    6

    Create a water bath by placing the baking dish into a larger baking pan filled with hot water (about 1 inch deep).

    7

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

    8

    Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

    9

    To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate, letting the caramel sauce flow over the flan.

How to be creative
  • Add a hint of orange or lemon zest to the flan mixture for a citrus twist.
  • Top with fresh fruit or berries before serving for a refreshing touch.
  • Drizzle with chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
Important Tips
  • Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature for a smoother texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel, as it can become too bitter.
  • Let the flan set in the refrigerator for a longer time for enhanced flavor and texture.
