Authentic Mexican Flan

eggs

sugar

milk

vanilla extract

water

In a small saucepan add sugar and water. Place the pan over medium heat and cook until you’ll have a nice dark caramel (see note 1).

Remove the caramel from the heat as soon as it&#039;s done.

Carefully, pour the caramel into the flan mold while trying to distribute it as evenly as possible on the bottom and a bit on the sides.

Make the caramel

Place eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend at medium speed until everything is nicely combined (see note 2).

Pour the mixture into the mold with the hardened caramel.

Fill a pan large enough to place inside the mold with the flan. Pour in warm water to fill about ⅔ of the pan capacity.

Make the custard

Cover the flan with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour and 15 minutes (see note 3).

Allow the Mexican flan to cool down and chill for about 3 hours (or overnight).

Bake

Run a knife along the edges of the mold.

Place a serving plate on top of the pan and, with a smooth move, quickly flip it over.

Lift off the flan pan and your flan will be sitting in the caramel ready to slice and serve.

Serve

This Mexican Flan recipe is a game-changer! The creamy custard and gooey caramel are a dream. I love how easy it is with both oven and stove options. It's our go-to dessert now. Will definitely try this again!

I LOVED IT! It was so easy to make, even if I was afraid it will fall apart when trying to unfolded, it didn't!

It was my wife's birthday and I wanted to surprise her with an easy recipe from her country. After looking for some Mexican desserts I found this and it looked good: little ingredients, easy method.

It did not fail. Thank you.

PS: I had a little bit of trouble when removing the flan from the mold but managed to do it.

SO EASY! I couldn't believe how easy this flan was to make and I was a little bit skeptical it will turn out good but oh my! It was delicious, just as you said: silky.

I used regular milk, even though I had some evaporated milk in my pantry but I wanted to try this simple recipe and see if really was as good as you claimed, and YES! it was, thank you, thank you. Definitely one of the best Mexican flan recipes out there, authentic, easy, and even cheap! Can't ask for more.
