👩‍🍳 How to Make 5-Minute Condensed Milk Flan

1. Prepare the Caramel

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water.

2. Stir gently until the sugar melts and turns golden amber.

3. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a flan mold or 9-inch round baking dish, swirling to coat evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

2. Mix the Custard

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into the caramel-lined mold to remove any bubbles for extra silky flan.

3. Bake the Flan

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Place the flan mold in a larger baking pan and pour hot water around it (bain-marie) until it reaches halfway up the sides.

3. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until the center is just set (slightly jiggly when shaken).

4. Chill & Serve

1. Allow the flan to cool to room temperature.

2. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. To unmold, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate — the caramel will drizzle over the top.

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use evaporated milk instead of whole milk?
Yes — you can substitute evaporated milk or use half evaporated and half whole milk for extra creaminess.

Why did my flan crack?
Overbaking or sudden temperature changes can cause cracking. Bake gently and cool slowly.

Do I have to use a water bath?
Yes — the bain-marie helps the flan cook evenly and prevents curdling.
