🍳 How to Make It – Step by Step

🔥 1. Prepare the Caramel

Melt sugar in a dry pan until golden. Immediately pour into a round baking dish and swirl.

🥚 2. Whisk the Custard

In a bowl, mix eggs, condensed milk, regular milk, vanilla, and salt. Stir gently to avoid foam.

🔍 3. Strain and Pour

Strain the mixture over the caramel to ensure a smooth, creamy result.

🛁 4. Bake in a Water Bath

Cover with foil. Place in a larger dish with hot water and bake at 175°C / 350°F for 60–75 minutes.

❄️ 5. Cool and Chill

Cool completely, then refrigerate for 4+ hours (overnight is best).

🍽️ 6. Unmold and Serve

Run a knife along the edges, flip onto a plate, and serve with its caramel topping.

💡 Tips for Success

  • Strain the custard to remove bubbles or egg strands.
  • Don’t overbake; the center should jiggle slightly.
  • Chill completely before unmolding.

FAQs

🍶 Can I use regular milk instead of evaporated milk?

Yes, whole milk works well if you don’t have evaporated milk. The result will be slightly lighter in texture but still delicious.

🍯 Can I add flavor variations?

Absolutely! You can infuse the milk with:

  • Orange zest or lemon peel
  • A stick of cinnamon
  • A splash of rum or almond extract

Just strain the custard before baking to remove any solids.

🧊 How do I store leftovers?

Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.

⚠️ Why did my caramel harden in the mold?

That’s normal. Once the flan bakes and chills, the caramel will melt into a sauce. Just give it time to rest and chill completely before unmolding.

Note

For best results, always bake your Flan Caramel Royal in a water bath to ensure even cooking and a smooth texture. Avoid overbaking—it should still jiggle slightly in the center when done. Let it chill thoroughly before unmolding to help the caramel sauce release beautifully.

✅ Tip: Use a fine mesh strainer to eliminate air bubbles or lumps in the custard for an ultra-smooth finish.
