Prep: 0 min Cook: 13 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 1 can dulce de leche
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 ramekins

Instructions

  1. In a clear, microwave-safe bowl, combine water and sugar. Stir well under sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. Microwave on high for about 6 to 7 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold. Immediately pour into the ramekins, swirling around to cover the bottom.

  3. Mix dulce de leche and eggs. Gently Mix in one direction until smooth.

  4. Add in evaporated milk and gently Mix in one direction until well-combined.

  5. Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a bowl. Pour into prepared ramekins and cover with foil.

  6. Arrange in a single layer in a wide, oven-safe pan. Carefully add about 1-inch of water to the pan (water bath).

  7. Bake in a 375 F oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.

  8. Remove from oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate to set. To serve, turn flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.
