How To Make Flan
Easy Flan Recipe
Creme Caramel Recipe
Creamy Flan Recipe - Jak na to + styl
I had made this flan recipe about a year ago, and thought that I had saved it. I wanted to share it with my grandson ( who at 14, loves to cook). I was in dismay, but was overjoyed when I finally found it.
This takes a bit more effort, and I did have to remake the caramel, but I’ll never find flan anywhere better than this 🤩‼️
This is the best recipe I’ve used perfect ever time. I make this for my family all the time as every Mother’s Day for my wife. Thank you
I could eat that entire pan in one sitting! Flan is my ultimate favorite!
Me too! It's so yummy and creamy! I also like (homemade) dulce de leche ice cream, and could eat the whole thing myself in one sitting!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for your honesty about the trials and errors with the caramel sauce. TBH, I would have felt like a complete failure - so thanks for letting us know it's a bit tricky and to not give up!
Was so in the mood making this today and soooo looking forward to the outcome. Update pending. ...
Have you tried using egg yolks than whole eggs? We make flans in my country too (Philippines) but the best flans I've had uses just yolks and a 1:1 ratio of evaporated milk and condensed milk. I just though you'd like to know one of our little secrets haha. It makes the flan more rich and creamy.
FLAN?!?! woman, you've found my weakness!!!! 🤪🤪🤪
That close-up of the finished flan was the money shot! This is one recipe I can't wait to try, especially when I have all the ingredients on hand. Thanks for sharing 👍😊
A tip for the next time you make flan... try to warm your flan dish. Either u can run hot water in it, (then dry it of course) or my personal favorite is to put it in the oven for a few min just before the caramel is ready. It gets instantly hard because yes you're right it's like a candy. Sugar is a very versatile ingredient and changes with different temperatures. It can be finicky. Your flan dish was much colder than the sugar so it solidify before allowing u to cover the bottom. It wasnt wrong. Try to warm your dish, it will allow you time to swirl or spread (whichever is your preferred method) the sugar to coat the bottom. I have never used heavy cream but am curious about how creamy it becomes without all the air bubbles. Also before watching I was assuming that you would add cream cheese. Alot of people like to add it to achieve the creamy desired texture. I appreciate that you didnt. 😊 thank you for sharing and hopefully you will be able to test out my tip.
I made this yesterday to take to our friends' house for dinner last night. The caramel worked the second time (although I may have given up too soon the first time). Per Christine's post (which I wish I had read before I tried to make it) - she is spot on - keep stirring the the sugar. It will look weird and get lumpy but don't give up. Keep it on low heat, keep stirring and the lumps will melt. Once they are all melted, it's ready to go into the glass baking dish. Don't panic if some of it starts to harden into "candy" when you pour it in. It will soften when it bakes. It looked beautiful, our friends were blown away (and he is from El Paso so he known flan), I was proud, and it was delicious! Thank you so much for the great instructions!
The way I was taught was to make it in an aluminum pan. You put the sugar directly into the baking pan, and melt it over the fire. Works every time. BUT if you really want to use a glass baking dish, you could put it inside the bath pan with the boiling water to warm the pan up before you pour the melted sugar into it. The problem you're having is because the pan you're pouring it into is cold. I still choose to opt for the aluminum baking pan. It's very easy and there's only one step, and one pan to clean. Happy baking!
great recipe , i used 2 / 3 cup of sugar and 1 /3 cup of water for the caramel just swirlled itand that mixture worked better for me.its was super yummy ty so much. im making it again today !!!
I’ve made this many times. I stir the sugar. It does harden when you pour it into the baking dish. I pour the custard onto the hardened sugar. It softens during baking and turns out just fine.
I was wondering why she started over...LOL
It also melts the longer it is sitting in fridge gosh I love making this and getting better and better and the caramel is the easiest for me now lol
Yes, me too. I actually try to get my sugar as close to the burning point as possible, but without actually burning it - it gives it a great flavor!
After reading the comments below and watching a different flan making video, where the cook used the wet method to make the caramel, I gave it a try. As suggested in the comments, I briefly put my flan pan in the preheated oven for just a bit so it wasn't cold when I poured in the caramel. And I added 3 TBS of water to the 2/3 C of sugar for the caramel. With these two adjustments I made my first flan and it was perfect!!!! The bit of orange extract was a great but subtle addition and I will always use it.
Love your clear instructions
Flan is so delicious , the trick with the caramel is you use a cup of sugar at a low to medium heat and when it's almost all melted you shut it off but keep stirring it or moving it so the heat melts what's left. Also try adding a can of coconut milk instead of the cream or evaporated milk. Another way also is you can add a whole bar of cream cheese. It's comes out awesome. Thank you for your recipes
Baking something for my friend's bday treat tomorrow. She wants flan and this video just helped me out so much
Most beautiful flan I have ever seen and I know it tasted as good as it looks. 2 thumbs up on this one. Thanks for sharing.
I can't believe I've never had Flan before. After watching this how could I possibly wait any longer?!
I really appreciate you r willingness to show a mistake so that we may not make the same. SO may cooking channels are so heavily edited that you never see anything even remotely like reality where sometimes it just blows up on you.
Yes! The realness is one of the things I love about her channel. It's not heavily edited nor perfectly scripted to the point where it becomes more about the aesthetic and cinematography than the actual food. Just very down-to-earth, relaxing videos and delicious recipes.

This is a beautiful recipe. I love the idea of sweetened, condensed milk, vs. ordinary milk. And you show vividly the importance of straining. Cannot wait to try it. Thanks a million!
Mama...1 cup of sugar for glaze...OH I AM TRYING ORANGE EXTRACT...You Bet...Love this video THANKS!!
I will try this recipe. I've heard this called "Sin On A Plate". It is heavenly. Your addition of the orange extract is what I think is missing from what I've made before. Thank you for sharing!!

Can you make empanadas de cajeta!! Please
you are so right about caramel being difficult...i ruined so much sugar till I finally got a little. lol. And now i found your video.hehe
It's so Sweet delecious recipe
Delicious 🤤
So amazing
Yummy! 🤤 Making it now lol my husband has never had flan! 🍮
Yum! You should be very proud of yourself for how pretty that turned out!
Beautiful!! but add more caramel sauce on the top and let it drip all over...the best part! I used to make this dessert as a kid for my family from an old Mexican cooking book. I like the strainer tip. (And I appreciate your intelligent wording.)
I have a trick for you. The same thing happened to me when I made my first flan. So the next time I heated water just to boiling. Then poured inside of dish I’m cooking the flan in. I prepared my flan. Pour out water from dish wipe dry then add caramel sauce. Then swirl the caramel around. It works every time. Good luck 😉
Thanks. 🙂
I know the pain of making caramel sauce and the trick is to prepare it in the same baking dish that your will be making the flan that way is a lot easier. Hugs from Canada.
When I make my flan, I use almost your recipe but i add a block of cream cheese. The cream cheese makes it really silky smooth. I love how yours looks. I don’t make flan to often because I want to just sit there and eat it all up 😂😂
Audrey Velazquez willl throw in some cream cheese!
I need a written recipe with ingredients and instructions, is there a place I can find that?
mariamunson1 the ingredients are in the description 👍 just copy paste it your phone in your notes, send an email or txt to yourself and print it out for your collection.
Beautiful
Oh I just have to try this! I haven’t had homemade flan in almost ten years 😭
Gonna try this...maybe if you warmed the baking dish a bit will help with the carmeled sugar issue..
I had flan for the first time a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to try it for more than 5 years. I expected it to have the consistency of say, cheese cake. It was more... not sure what the word would be. Like pudding but more stiff. It was a lot more mushy (not in a gross way) but I wasn't expecting in my that. And who ever made it added way to much lemon juice. And it felt like my teeth were decaying afterwards. But it was good. I could tell it could of been better. But this was a class. Practice makes perfected.
Edit: Creamy! You said it at the end. That's what it was!
Thank you, thank you thank you. I just pulled out a pan full of very, very hard sugar that was supposed to be my caramel. I think after watching your video I'm gonna go and try again. I feel like success is very close by.
I want to make this too!!! And the buñuelos
Also a trick when your caramel hardens right away, put your baking dish in the oven & it’ll melt it right back. No headache of doing it all over again (:
Spectacular!!! Do you think it was creamier than your usual from using the heavy cream vs. the evaporated milk +letting it sit and straining??
I heat my baking dish in a larger pan of hot water well before I pour the caramel into it. I use the same pan that I use for the water bath. It helps keep it runny so you can swirl it around the baking dish. Cool and pour your custard in and proceed per your recipe. Mine just went into the oven. My wife is from Venezuela and asked me to make this tonight and I have to please her.HaHa!
Lady, you are magic.
Outstanding beautiful🎉🎉🎉🎉
So yummy ! As soon as I have some extra time to play I’m going to try and make this sugar free ! I’ll let you know ! Fingers Crossed 🤞 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 Debra In California ❤️
I usually just buy the box stuff at Walmart! And then I add a tablespoon of sugar and my own vanilla and two egg yolks. Follow the directions on the box.😊
But I’m going to attempt this!
It looks amazing! I think flan is my most favorite dessert, but I’ve never made it. This makes me want to try. 😉
me too!
Thanks for sharing! I love making and eating flan and my recipe is very similar to yours. I use a touch of almond extract. Your orange extract sounds super yummy, I'll have to try it! My hubbie doesn't like it when I make changes (like the time I made a pumpkin flan), so I may have to make two! 😂 It's also very good with a few tablespoons of pecan liqueur in it!!! 😋
