Instructions:
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.
- Add the sugar to a small non-stick sauce pan over medium heat.
- Shake and swirl the sugar around the pan so the sugar will be evenly distributed as they start to dissolve or turn brown and caramelized.
- When the sugar starts to caramelize, lift the pan couple of inches above the heat and keep the pan moving in circular motion.
- Once the sugar has liquified, pour into your flan container or dish, making sure to coat evenly the bottom of the dish or container. Set Aside.
- Now, pour the condensed milk, heavy cream, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla extract into the blender.
- Blend on high for one minute. After that, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth.
- Then pour the mixture over the caramelized sugar in the baking dish or ramekins.
- Place the baking dish / ramekins inside a larger baking pan and slide the pan into the pre-heated oven.
- Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. This is called the water bath that will allow the flan to bake gently and evenly.
- Bake until centers of flans are gently set, about 50 - 60 minutes. Transfer flans to rack and cool. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.
- Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool completely.
- To serve, run small sharp knife around flan to loosen. Turn over onto plate. Shake gently to release flan.
- Carefully lift off ramekin allowing caramel syrup to run over flan. Repeat with remaining flans and serve.
