Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Create the Caramel: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the sugar until golden brown, stirring gently to avoid burning. Immediately pour into a flan mold.
  2. Prepare the Flan Mixture: Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the hardened caramel in your mold.
  4. Bake: Place the flan mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water halfway up its sides. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool and Chill: Let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
  6. Serve: Run a knife around the edges and flip onto a plate to reveal the caramel sauce.
