Flan Mexicano is a classic dessert that features a creamy and smooth caramel custard with a rich, sugary topping. It is a popular dessert in Mexico, known for its deliciously sweet and silky texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar for caramel
- 1 can evaporated milk 12 ounces
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it becomes a golden caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool.
- In a blender, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the blended mixture over the set caramel in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it and invert onto a platter. Slice and enjoy!
