A classic and irresistible dessert, this flan combines the creamy smoothness of custard with the rich, deep flavor of homemade caramel.
Ingredients
For the caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For the flan:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make the caramel:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
- Heat over medium heat without stirring until the mixture begins to boil.
- Continue cooking, watching carefully, until the sugar turns a deep amber color (about 8–10 minutes).
- Gently swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization (do not stir).
