Ingredients
8 Servings
- 3 eggs
- 200 grams sugar
- 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 60 ml water
- 480 ml whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a saucepan, melt 200 grams of sugar over medium heat until it turns golden brown and caramelizes.
Step 3
Carefully add 60 ml of water to the caramelized sugar and stir until smooth. Pour the caramel into a flan mold or round baking dish, coating the bottom evenly.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-coated mold.
Step 6
Place the mold in a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the mold.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 9
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the flan. Invert it onto a serving plate and let the caramel drizzle over the top.
