Easy Spanish Flan

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we dive into the sweet bliss of baking, let’s round up our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to create your own slice of paradise:

  • 1 cup of sugar (for caramelizing, because who doesn’t love a sweet surprise?)
  • 4 large eggs (the golden orbs of happiness)
  • 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk (the sweet liquid joy)
  • 1 can (12 oz) of evaporated milk (a must for that creamy texture)
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract (because vanilla makes everything better)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s put our chef hats on and follow these simple steps!

  1. Caramel Time: In a medium saucepan, add the sugar and heat over medium-low heat. Stir it gently until it melts and turns a lovely amber color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish and tilt to coat the bottom evenly. (Warning: Don’t burn it, or it will taste like disappointment!)
  2. Blend it Up: In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until it’s super smooth and luxurious. You want it silky, not chunky—unless you’re making a comfort food smoothie (but that’s a different recipe!).
  3. Pour it Like a Pro: Carefully pour this creamy delight into your caramel-coated dish. Remember, we didn’t go through all this work for a splash zone!
  4. Water Bath Time: Place the dish in a larger baking pan and add hot water to the outer pan, creating a water bath. This will help the flan cook evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes.
  5. Chill Out: Once done, take it out and let it cool at room temperature. Then, pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight (because good things come to those who wait).
  6. Serve and Enjoy: To serve, run a knife around the edge, flip it onto a plate, and let the caramel flow. Voilà! You have a masterpiece right there!
