🛒 Ingredients

20 servings

20
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (about 14 oz / 397 g)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 °F (160 °C).

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water over medium heat without stirring until you get an amber caramel.

  3. 3

    Immediately pour the caramel into the mold, tilting it to coat the bottom and sides.

  4. 4

    Blend the condensed milk, milk, and eggs until completely smooth.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture into the caramel-lined mold and cover with foil.

  6. 6

    Bake in a water bath for about 40 minutes, until the center is just set.

  7. 7

    Let cool, chill for at least 4 hours, then unmold gently and serve.

💡 Chef's Tip

Don't over-blend the custard — just enough to make it smooth, or too much air will create bubbles. This flan tastes even better made a day ahead, once the caramel has soaked in.
