Ingredients for Creamy Caramel Flan Delight:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and let it melt slowly, stirring occasionally until it turns into a deep amber caramel (about 10 minutes).
- Quickly pour the caramel into a round 9-inch baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool.
- In a blender, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- Carefully place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the flan is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the water bath for 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at slightest 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the flan onto a serving plate.
