Creamy Caramel Flan
Imagine a silky smooth flan topped with a luscious layer of homemade caramel. This dessert not only looks beautiful but tastes heavenly too. Here’s how to make this irresistible dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the caramel by placing the granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir it constantly until it melts and turns a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn it!
- Quickly pour the melted caramel into a round baking dish, tilting it to spread the caramel evenly across the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
- To bake your flan, place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish, creating a water bath.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for the best results.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan, then invert it onto a serving plate to allow the caramel to drizzle over the top.
Slice and serve your luscious creamy caramel flan, and watch as everyone enjoys this classic dessert. It’s perfect for celebrations or just because! Enjoy every bite of this creamy goodness!
