Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Stop stirring and let it bubble, swirling the pan occasionally, until deep amber, ~5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour caramel into a round 8-inch baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla in a blender until silky smooth, ~60 seconds.

  5. 5

    Pour custard mixture over caramel into the baking dish. Place dish in a larger roasting pan.

  6. 6

    Fill roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

  7. 7

    Bake at 325°F for 50–55 minutes until the custard jiggles slightly in the center but edges are set.

  8. 8

    Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until fully chilled.

  9. 9

    Run a thin knife around the edges and invert the flan onto a serving plate to release caramel.

  10. 10

    Arrange sliced strawberries on top or around the sides. Serve chilled.
