Recipe Card of Spanish Flan
Indulge in the rich, creamy goodness of Spanish flan – a luxurious dessert crafted with love, blending the velvety magic of condensed and evaporated milk with the sweetness of caramelized sugar. An authentic Spanish delight, this flan is smooth, full of flavor, and topped with an irresistible caramel glaze.
Ingredients list
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
- First things first, let's get your oven ready! Set it to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to welcome your delightful creation.
- In a medium saucepan, melt sugar over medium-low heat until it flows fluidly, boasting a rich, golden color. Carefully pour this hot syrup into a deep 9-inch round glass baking dish, turning it to embrace the bottom with sweet caramel love; set it aside.
- Whisk eggs in a spacious bowl. Introduce condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla, blending until luxuriously smooth. Gently pour this silky mixture over the caramel in your dish, then nestle it within a deep roasting pan. Pour in hot water, it should climb 1 inch up the sides of the dish to envelop the flan.
- Bake lovingly in the preheated oven, monitoring until it sets to a subtle jiggle, roughly 1 hour. As it cools, your flan will continue to become firm. Once removed from the oven, transfer it carefully to a wire rack, where it will relax to room temperature before being wrapped in cozy plastic wrap. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 days, for the flavors to meld perfectly.
- When you're ready to dazzle your guests, gently run a knife along the dish's edges and skillfully invert it onto a rimmed plate, letting the luscious caramel cascade over the flan. Delight in every mouthful, letting the flavors dance on your palate.
