Ingredients:
- 10 egg yolks
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until smooth.
- Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk to the egg yolks, stirring until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over low heat until it caramelizes and turns golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.
- Quickly pour the caramelized sugar into your flan mold, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the egg-milk mixture through a fine sieve into the flan mold to remove any lumps.
- Cover the flan mold with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold.
- Carefully transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the flan mold from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the Leche Flan for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan mold to loosen the Leche Flan. Place a serving plate on top of the mold, then invert it to release the flan onto the plate.
- Slice and enjoy the creamy goodness of your homemade Leche Flan!
