Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350.

  2. Heat up a pan over medium heat. Add the sugar to the pan. After 5 minutes, the sugar will begin to melt.

  3. Slowly stir the sugar until it has all melted. Next pour the caramel sauce into a loaf pan and let it harden.

  4. Add the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend for 30-40 seconds.

  5. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan. Cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil then place it into a casserole dish.

  6. Transfer the casserole dish to the oven. Add enough water to the casserole dish to reach half way up the side of the loaf pan.

  7. Bake for 1 hour. Then remove the loaf pan from the casserole dish and uncover. Let cool for 1 hour.

  8. Cover the loaf pan again and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 6 hours or overnight.

  9. Uncover the loaf pan and run a butter knife along the edges of the flan to loosen it up.

  10. Place a large plate face down on top of the loaf pan and flip it over. Serve and enjoy.
