Comment préparer Classic Mexican Flan
- In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar turns into a dark amber caramel.
- Carefully remove from heat and immediately pour the caramel into a 4-cup metal ring mold or 8 individual ramekins (approximately 6 oz each).
- Quickly swirl the mold to coat the bottom and sides evenly with the caramel. Let cool completely to allow the caramel to harden.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a blender, combine 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 4 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Blend until completely smooth and well combined.
- Carefully pour the custard mixture into the prepared caramel mold(s).
- Place the mold(s) in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the mold(s). This creates a water bath for even baking.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven and let the flan cool completely in the water bath.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flan to fully set.
- To unmold, run a thin knife around the edges of the flan. Place a serving plate upside down over the mold. Gently invert the mold and plate together. The flan should slide out onto the plate.
- Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top and serve chilled.
