This sweet, rich custard dessert is surprisingly simple to make. Just be sure to allow time for it to chill overnight.
Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 1⅓ cups condensed milk
  • cup cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
Instructions
  1. Place 3 Tbsp sugar in an 8-inch round layer cake pan {or divide the sugar into individual ramekins}.
  2. Place the pan over heat until the sugar melts and turns a dark caramel color, stirring it constantly.
  3. Remove it from the heat and let it cool until the caramel hardens.
  4. Blend the rest of the ingredients in a blender on high for 8-10 seconds.
  5. Pour the mixture into the caramelized pan.
  6. Set the pan in a larger pan that is filled with ½-inch hot water.
  7. Bake the flan at 325 degrees for 45 minutes until it is set.
  8. Let it cool overnight in the refrigerator.
  9. The following day, invert the flan onto a chilled platter.
