Vanilla Bean Flan Caramel

Vanilla Bean Flan Caramel: The classic decadent custard recipe, with a sweet caramel sauce, and little specks of vanilla beans.

Disclosure: Thanks Florida Crystals® for providing your product for this recipe. All opinions are my own.

You are in for a sweet treat today! because who doesn’t like flan caramel? The popular rich, creamy sweet custard similar to crème brûlée — It is so delicious, decadent and easy to make.

Native from Spain but prepared in many other countries, flan is one of the recipes that many people enjoy eating but are afraid to prepare as it seems very intimidating. Well, let me tell you that the recipe I will share with you today, is everything but intimidating, in fact, is one of the recipes I make all the time because of its simplicity,and to make it extra flavorful,  I like to add vanilla bean seeds.

Here are the steps:

Make a caramel: Melt about a cup of Florida Crystal® Organic Raw Cane Sugar with some water until mixture has a deep caramel color;

Pour the caramel into five individual ramekins and place them in large baking pan with hot water ( Bain-marie or water bath);

Combine one can of evaporated milk, a can of condensed milk, five egg yolks, vanilla bean or vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in a blender and pour into ramekins;

Then, baked the flan at 350° degrees for 40 minutes or until firm. Let it cool completely, before placing in the refrigerator;

Let it cool in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight.

Here is the printable recipe.
