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