Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of sugar until golden brown. Quickly pour into a flan mold, tilting to coat evenly.
- Blend the Custard: In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth (about 30 seconds).
- Pour into Mold: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the mold.
- Bake in Water Bath: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan mold inside a larger baking dish filled halfway with hot water. Bake for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Chill and Unmold: Let cool at room temperature for an hour before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight. To unmold, run a knife around the edges and flip onto a plate.
