Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and place a large baking dish in the oven filled half-way with hot water to create a water bath while the oven preheats.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a golden caramel color, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once caramelized, carefully pour the hot caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
-
In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Pour the mixture over the caramel in the baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
-
Place the covered baking dish in the larger baking dish filled with hot water in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the flan is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Carefully remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the flan to fully set.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Place a serving plate over the dish, quickly flip it over, and gently tap the bottom of the dish to release the flan. The caramel will flow over the flan, creating a beautiful presentation.
-
Slice the flan into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy texture and luscious caramel flavor of this delightful Flan Napolitano.
