Cómo preparar Peruvian Flan
- **Caramel Sauce:** In a medium-sized heavy skillet over medium heat, melt 1 cup granulated sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until a rich amber color is achieved (approximately 9-10 minutes). Be careful not to burn the sugar.
- Carefully pour the hot caramel into a 9-inch ovenproof pie plate or round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
- Let the caramel cool completely (about 40 minutes).
- **Custard Preparation:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs.
- Gradually whisk in 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, then 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- **Optional Flavor Boost:** Add 2 tablespoons Kahlúa or Frangelico, or 1/4 teaspoon almond extract or cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
- Pour the custard mixture into the caramel-lined dish.
- **Water Bath:** Place the filled dish into a larger baking pan. Pour enough boiling water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
- **Baking:** Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Cooling:** Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flan to set properly.
- **Unmolding:** Run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert onto a serving plate.
- **Garnish & Serve:** Garnish with your favorite fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, kiwi, or mango, and serve chilled. Use boiling water to clean up any hardened caramel.
- Enjoy!
