1

Preheat oven to 350° F.
2

Melt sugar in a medium-sized pot on medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and turns a golden color. Transfer this caramel to your flan mold and gently move the mold so the caramel covers the bottom and sides. Let it cool completely.
3

Add the rest of the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour this mixture into the prepared flan mold and cover.
4

Bake in a water bath for 50-60 minutes or until the flan looks like it has set. Let cool completely.
5

To remove from mold, run a knife along the sides of the mold and turn it upside down over a plate.
6

Serve and enjoy!

Expert Tips

To make it easier to remove from mold, refrigerate flan for 1 hour so it can be firmer.
