Ingredients
- 1 can of NESTLÉ® CARNATION® evaporated milk
- 1 can of NESTLÉ® sweetened condensed milk
- 5 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
For the Caramel
- 75 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
Mix the eggs, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla essence until smooth. Set it aside.
2. Make the caramel
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, lemon juice, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar begins to brown. Remove immediately from the heat to avoid burning. Carefully pour the hot caramel into a 27 cm (10-inch) round metal cake pan.
3. Bake the flan
Gently pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the pan, being careful to avoid splashes. Bake in a water bath for about 1 hour or until the center is still slightly jiggly (it will continue to set as it cools).
4. Cool and serve
Allow the flan to cool completely before refrigerating. Serve chilled to fully enjoy this delicious Caramel Flan recipe.
