Includes cooling and an estimated 3–4 hours of chilling; chill until thoroughly cold.

Ingredients

  • 9 tbsp Sugar
  • 12 large Egg yolks
  • 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz Evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt 3 tablespoons sugar in each of three heat-safe metal flan molds over low heat, swirling until amber. Let the caramel harden.
  2. Stir yolks and both milks gently, then strain. Divide between the molds and cover with foil.
  3. Place molds in a roasting pan with about 1 inch of hot water. Bake 50–60 minutes, until the custard is set and a tester comes out clean.
  4. Cool, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Loosen the edges and invert onto plates.
