More About This Recipe

  • Eating flan always reminds me of my childhood. We had three favorite desserts at home: jello, tres leches cake and flan. My family has been making flan of all sorts of flavors for years. But the simple and traditional flan napolitano was our ultimate favorite. Flan napolitano is quite easy to make and it only takes few ingredients that you can buy in just any store. It’s sweet and creamy taste will mesmerize every palate!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar (for the caramel)
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1 (14 oz) can condensed milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    For the caramel: Place a saucepan over medium-high heat. When it gets hot, pour a bit of sugar (approx. 1/4 cup) and don’t stir. Once it metls and turns golden, add the other 1/4 cup little by little and stir slowly so that everything melts together. Continue until it turns amber. Be careful; hot sugar can cause serious burns.
  • Step 
    2
    Pour the caramel into a 9-inch-diameter mold, carefully turning it to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Set aside. The sugar will harden, turning a bit crystal clear.
  • Step 
    3
    For the flan: In a mixer, blend the condensed and evaporated milk, the eggs and the vanilla, until smooth. Pour the mix in the mold with the caramel and cover with aluminium foil.
  • Step 
    4
    Bake in bain-marie (the water must cover 2/3 of the mold) to 350 °F (180 °C) for approximately one hour or until you stick a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean.
  • Step 
    5
    Let the flan cool for at least half an hour and then place it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
  • Step 
    6
    To serve, use a knife or ice pick to carefully separate the sides and invert on a tray. Garnish, to taste.
