Description
A classic Filipino dessert that combines creamy custard with a rich caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of sugar (for the caramel)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) of evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes an amber color. Swirl (don’t stir) until it coats the bottom evenly, being careful not to burn it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the caramel into your chosen flan mold, then gently pour in the milk mixture on top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish filled with water. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but jiggles slightly in the center.
- Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least four hours.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges and flip it onto a serving platter, allowing the caramel to cascade down.
Notes
You can substitute evaporated milk with regular milk or a non-dairy alternative. Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to a week.
