Easy Spanish Flan: An Incredible 5-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 40 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
– 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Making Easy Spanish Flan (No Alcohol) is a simple process when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until it melts and turns a golden brown color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
3. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour Mixture: Carefully pour the milk mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
5. Prepare Water Bath: Place the baking dish into a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
6. Bake: Carefully transfer the setup to the oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the water bath for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
8. Unmold: To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan. Invert onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the top.

By following these steps, you will create a stunning flan that is sure to impress!
