Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by placing it in a larger roasting pan for a water bath.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until golden brown. Quickly pour into the baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Carefully pour the mixture over the caramel layer in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the roasting pan and fill it with hot water until halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow cooling completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge and invert onto a serving platter.
