Directions
- 1
Combine sugar and water in a microwave-safe glass dish. Microwave on high for 6 to 7 minutes, checking every minute, until the caramel turns golden amber. Be careful — it is extremely hot!
- 2
Immediately pour the caramel into a microwave-safe flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Let cool completely.
- 3
Blend the condensed milk, whole milk, and eggs in a blender for about 1 minute until smooth and well combined.
- 4
Gently pour the blended mixture over the cooled caramel in the mold.
- 5
Microwave on high for 10 to 12 minutes until the custard is set. Allow to cool to room temperature, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then unmold onto a deep serving plate and enjoy.
💡 Chef's Tip
To check doneness, insert a knife in the center — it should come out clean. If the center still jiggles, microwave in 2-minute increments. Always unmold cold for the best presentation.
