Delicious Flan Recipe for Perfect Desserts

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.

Allow the mixture to boil without stirring, until it reaches a rich amber color. This typically takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Be cautious, as the caramel can burn quickly.

Once ready, carefully pour the hot caramel into the bottom of your flan mold, tilting it to coat evenly. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Using a whisk or blender, mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous texture.

Pour the flan mixture into the mold over the hardened caramel. Then, place the flan mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water, creating a water bath.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the mold from the water bath and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, best overnight.

To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan, then carefully invert it onto a serving platter. The caramel will flow beautifully over the top.
