Directions
- 1
Place sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over medium heat without stirring until it turns a deep amber caramel.
- 2
Carefully pour in the hot water while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the caramel is smooth and glossy.
- 3
Blend the whole milk, condensed milk, and eggs in a blender on medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth and slightly airy.
- 4
Pour the warm caramel into a flan mold, then gently pour the milk mixture on top.
- 5
Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil.
- 6
Set the covered mold inside a large pot and add about 1 inch of water for a stovetop water bath.
- 7
Cover the pot and cook over low heat for approximately 40 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a knife — it should come out clean.
- 8
Remove from heat and let cool completely at room temperature.
- 9
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before unmolding and serving chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
Run a thin knife around the edge of the flan before flipping it onto a deep-rimmed plate so all the caramel sauce is captured.
