How to Make Traditional Caramel Flan – Step-by-Step Guide.

🍮 Irresistible Caramel Flan Recipe

✅ Ingredients

For the Caramel:

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup cold water

For the Flan:

3 whole eggs

14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 cups cold milk

🔥 Step 1: Make the Caramel
In a non-stick skillet or saucepan, add 1/3 cup sugar over medium heat.

Stir continuously until the sugar melts completely and becomes a bright, golden caramel.

Once fully melted, carefully add 1/2 cup cold water in small increments to avoid splashing.

Continue stirring until all sugar crystals dissolve and the caramel is smooth and glossy.

Turn off the heat and immediately pour the caramel into the flan mold (a round pan or bundt pan works well), starting in the center.

Use a spatula to spread the caramel evenly across the base and sides.

🥚 Step 2: Prepare the Flan Mixture
In a blender, add 3 fresh whole eggs.

Add 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk.

Pour in 1 1/2 cups of cold milk.

Blend on high for about 5 minutes, until fully smooth and homogeneous.

🥄 Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Gently pour the blended flan mixture into the caramel-coated mold to minimize foam.

Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil.

Place the mold into a larger baking pan to create a water bath (bain-marie).

Add hot water to the larger pan, enough to reach about 3 fingers deep or halfway up the side of the inner mold.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 1 1/2 hours.

❄️ Step 4: Cool and Unmold
Remove from the oven and let cool for a bit before placing it in the refrigerator.

Chill thoroughly, ideally for a few hours or overnight.

Once fully chilled, place a serving plate over the mold and invert carefully to release the flan.

The caramel will flow over the sides, creating a beautiful and delicious topping.

🍽️ Final Result
A silky, creamy flan with a perfectly smooth texture and a shiny, golden caramel topping. Slice generously and enjoy every bite!
