Brazilian Flan
Easy · 6 ingredients — shared from Reciquest
4 servings · Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 (14oz) cans sweet condensed milk
- 28 oz whole milk (use the sweet condensed milk can to measure)
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In a sauce pan, melt the sugar over medium high heat. After about 10 minutes, once it's golden brown, add the water and let it cook, stirring lightly, until it thickens a bit.
- Pour the caramel into a 10 inch Angel Food Pan and swirl it to cover the bottom and sides. Let it sit for a few minutes so it hardens. It is important that the caramel firms before you add the flan mixture so they don't mix together.
- Add the sweet condensed milk, milk, eggs and vanilla extract to a large blender jar. Blend for a few minutes until smooth. (If you can't fit all the ingredients, divide them equally into 2 batches!)
- Pour the flan mixture into the angel food pan and cover with foil.
- Fill a large baking pan (a lasagna dish works great!) halfway through with water and place the angel food pan in it.
- Bring it to the oven and bake it in bain marie for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. I like to wiggle the pan a bit to see if it's still liquidy. Sometimes I have to leave it for an extra 15 minutes. You can also insert a cake tester to check. It should come out clean or almost clean.
- Let the flan cool and transfer it to the fridge to cool overnight.
- To remove the flan from the mold, just run a knife along the sides and then carefully flip it on a serving plate.
