Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a large roasting pan in the oven to preheat.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it becomes a golden caramel, swirling occasionally. Do not stir.
- Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan or flan dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the prepared caramel-coated pan.
- Place the pan into the preheated roasting pan and carefully add hot water around it to create a water bath (about halfway up the sides).
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the flan is just set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from oven, cool in the water bath for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan, invert onto a plate, and garnish with fresh raspberries.
Notes
- Use caution when making caramel — it gets very hot.
- Straining the custard ensures a silky-smooth texture.
- Flan can be made 1–2 days in advance and stored chilled until ready to serve.
- You can substitute other berries or mint for garnish if desired.
