🛒 Ingredients

8 servings

8
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397 g)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup warm milk
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin powder (¼ oz / 7 g)
  • 10 tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    Place sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring until it melts into a deep amber caramel. Immediately pour into a flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle gelatin over the warm milk and stir for 2 minutes until fully dissolved with no lumps remaining.

  3. 3

    Add condensed milk, heavy cream, and the gelatin-milk mixture to a blender. Blend on high speed for 5 minutes until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and slightly aerated.

  4. 4

    Pour the cream mixture gently over the set caramel in the mold. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    To unmold, run a thin knife along the edges, place a rimmed plate on top, and flip quickly. Serve chilled and enjoy.

💡 Chef's Tip

For easiest unmolding, briefly dip the bottom of the mold in hot water before flipping. Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or coconut cream for a flavored twist.
