Here’s a recipe for Milk Flan along with estimated nutrition information:
Ingredients:
For the Caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For the Flan:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
For the Caramel:
- In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, stop stirring and let it boil until it turns into a golden amber color, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization.
- Once the desired color is achieved, immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan or several individual ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Be careful as the caramel will be very hot.
For the Flan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the caramel in the cake pan or ramekins.
- Place the cake pan or ramekins in a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the larger dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the cake pan or ramekins. This creates a water bath, which helps ensure even cooking and prevents the flan from cracking.
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the flan is set but still jiggly in the center.
- Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill and set completely.
To Serve:
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the cake pan or ramekins to loosen the flan.
- Place a serving plate upside down over the top of the pan or ramekins, then quickly flip it over to release the flan onto the plate. The caramel will create a sauce around the flan.
- Slice and serve the flan chilled.
