Originally from Mexico, Flan is served at many restaurants as a dessert. It’s one of my favorite desserts because of its sweet taste and soft texture. I decided to try making some at home and it was pretty successful. I’ll share the recipe so you can enjoy this delicious dessert at home.
Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
1 (1 fluid oz) can evaporated milk
1 (5oz) can sweetened condensed milk
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon almond extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, boil sugar with water and stir until the sugar melts and lightly browns. Pour into a flan pan or a cake mold, tilting the pan to coat the entire bottom. Set it aside.
In a bowl, gently whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks and almond extract. Be careful air doesn’t get in. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan (from the previous step). Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the flan pan on the towel. Fill the roasting pan with water to halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
Preheat the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes.
Cool completely.
To take the flan out of the pan, run a knife around the edges of the pan. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.
