Mexican Flan
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp dulce de leche store bought or homemade
- 1/2 can 14oz evaporated milk
- 1/2 can 12 oz condensed milk
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon powder
- Sugar if required (refer notes)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160 degree C.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk till it becomes slightly pale.
- Add the evaporated-condensed milks and cinnamon powder and mix thoroughly.
- Check for sweetness and add sugar if necessary. Since the topping is DDL, I didn't add any sugar at all.
- Wash and dry 4 ramekins. Coat the bottom of each ramekin lavishly with the DDL till everything you have is finished.
- Pour the beaten mixture equally into the ramekins. Cover with aluminium foil and poke a hole on top.
- Take a large oven-proof pan, fill with 1 inch warm water and place the ramekins into it.
- Push the tray into your oven and bake for 50-60 miinutes till done. It will be done when you poke a cake tester/ toothpick and it comes out clean.
- Once done, take out the ramekins, allow to cool to room temperature and refrigerate for a few hours until well set.
- For serving, run a knife on the edges of the ramekins and slowly dump onto your plate. Gobble it down!!!
Notes
I didn't use any additioinal sugar since the DDL and condensed milk would add up for the sweetness.
You can double the quantity to make 8 small portion or 6 meduim sized portions.
