How To Make Flan
Easy Flan Recipe
Creme Caramel Recipe
Creamy Flan Recipe
Thanks for your honesty about the trials and errors with the caramel sauce. TBH, I would have felt like a complete failure - so thanks for letting us know it's a bit tricky and to not give up!
I could eat that entire pan in one sitting! Flan is my ultimate favorite!
Me too! It's so yummy and creamy! I also like (homemade) dulce de leche ice cream, and could eat the whole thing myself in one sitting!! 😂😂😂
I had made this flan recipe about a year ago, and thought that I had saved it. I wanted to share it with my grandson ( who at 14, loves to cook). I was in dismay, but was overjoyed when I finally found it.
This takes a bit more effort, and I did have to remake the caramel, but I’ll never find flan anywhere better than this 🤩‼️
That close-up of the finished flan was the money shot! This is one recipe I can't wait to try, especially when I have all the ingredients on hand. Thanks for sharing 👍😊
I made this yesterday to take to our friends' house for dinner last night. The caramel worked the second time (although I may have given up too soon the first time). Per Christine's post (which I wish I had read before I tried to make it) - she is spot on - keep stirring the the sugar. It will look weird and get lumpy but don't give up. Keep it on low heat, keep stirring and the lumps will melt. Once they are all melted, it's ready to go into the glass baking dish. Don't panic if some of it starts to harden into "candy" when you pour it in. It will soften when it bakes. It looked beautiful, our friends were blown away (and he is from El Paso so he known flan), I was proud, and it was delicious! Thank you so much for the great instructions!
A tip for the next time you make flan... try to warm your flan dish. Either u can run hot water in it, (then dry it of course) or my personal favorite is to put it in the oven for a few min just before the caramel is ready. It gets instantly hard because yes you're right it's like a candy. Sugar is a very versatile ingredient and changes with different temperatures. It can be finicky. Your flan dish was much colder than the sugar so it solidify before allowing u to cover the bottom. It wasnt wrong. Try to warm your dish, it will allow you time to swirl or spread (whichever is your preferred method) the sugar to coat the bottom. I have never used heavy cream but am curious about how creamy it becomes without all the air bubbles. Also before watching I was assuming that you would add cream cheese. Alot of people like to add it to achieve the creamy desired texture. I appreciate that you didnt. 😊 thank you for sharing and hopefully you will be able to test out my tip.
I’ve made this many times. I stir the sugar. It does harden when you pour it into the baking dish. I pour the custard onto the hardened sugar. It softens during baking and turns out just fine.
I was wondering why she started over...LOL
It also melts the longer it is sitting in fridge gosh I love making this and getting better and better and the caramel is the easiest for me now lol
Yes, me too. I actually try to get my sugar as close to the burning point as possible, but without actually burning it - it gives it a great flavor!
Have you tried using egg yolks than whole eggs? We make flans in my country too (Philippines) but the best flans I've had uses just yolks and a 1:1 ratio of evaporated milk and condensed milk. I just though you'd like to know one of our little secrets haha. It makes the flan more rich and creamy.
great recipe , i used 2 / 3 cup of sugar and 1 /3 cup of water for the caramel just swirlled itand that mixture worked better for me.its was super yummy ty so much. im making it again today !!!
This is a beautiful recipe. I love the idea of sweetened, condensed milk, vs. ordinary milk. And you show vividly the importance of straining. Cannot wait to try it. Thanks a million!
This is the best recipe I’ve used perfect ever time. I make this for my family all the time as every Mother’s Day for my wife. Thank you
Love your clear instructions
I really appreciate you r willingness to show a mistake so that we may not make the same. SO may cooking channels are so heavily edited that you never see anything even remotely like reality where sometimes it just blows up on you.
Yes! The realness is one of the things I love about her channel. It's not heavily edited nor perfectly scripted to the point where it becomes more about the aesthetic and cinematography than the actual food. Just very down-to-earth, relaxing videos and delicious recipes.

Was so in the mood making this today and soooo looking forward to the outcome. Update pending. ...
After reading the comments below and watching a different flan making video, where the cook used the wet method to make the caramel, I gave it a try. As suggested in the comments, I briefly put my flan pan in the preheated oven for just a bit so it wasn't cold when I poured in the caramel. And I added 3 TBS of water to the 2/3 C of sugar for the caramel. With these two adjustments I made my first flan and it was perfect!!!! The bit of orange extract was a great but subtle addition and I will always use it.
Most beautiful flan I have ever seen and I know it tasted as good as it looks. 2 thumbs up on this one. Thanks for sharing.
Baking something for my friend's bday treat tomorrow. She wants flan and this video just helped me out so much
Such a beautiful dish. Thank you for shareing.
Love this recipe! Easy to follow thank you
Spectacular!!! Do you think it was creamier than your usual from using the heavy cream vs. the evaporated milk +letting it sit and straining??
Flan is so delicious , the trick with the caramel is you use a cup of sugar at a low to medium heat and when it's almost all melted you shut it off but keep stirring it or moving it so the heat melts what's left. Also try adding a can of coconut milk instead of the cream or evaporated milk. Another way also is you can add a whole bar of cream cheese. It's comes out awesome. Thank you for your recipes
Yes thank you! I’ll be bring this dish to the holiday party thank you! Have a wonderful holiday ♥️🥳
I will try this recipe. I've heard this called "Sin On A Plate". It is heavenly. Your addition of the orange extract is what I think is missing from what I've made before. Thank you for sharing!!
The way I was taught was to make it in an aluminum pan. You put the sugar directly into the baking pan, and melt it over the fire. Works every time. BUT if you really want to use a glass baking dish, you could put it inside the bath pan with the boiling water to warm the pan up before you pour the melted sugar into it. The problem you're having is because the pan you're pouring it into is cold. I still choose to opt for the aluminum baking pan. It's very easy and there's only one step, and one pan to clean. Happy baking!
This is the most relaxing and pleasant video I have ever watched! Thanks for sharing
Wonderful ! My husband loves this ! I will make it !Thanks !
I like that you explained all the process in detail. Love the dish and I’ll definitely try this recipe soon.
I have a trick for you. The same thing happened to me when I made my first flan. So the next time I heated water just to boiling. Then poured inside of dish I’m cooking the flan in. I prepared my flan. Pour out water from dish wipe dry then add caramel sauce. Then swirl the caramel around. It works every time. Good luck 😉
Thanks. 🙂
Excellent, can’t wait to make it for my guy...he loves flan. Thanks for the simple how to video.
Thanks for sharing this recipe, it looks really easy and I can't wait to make it.
It does look so creamy and delicious.
Have a Blessed Day
Best flan recipe I’ve ever made. Thanks for sharing!
My, my, my, that flan looks so, so, so good!!!
Looks FLANTASTIC!
This was a great demonstration!
Thank you for sharing!
Omg that looks so good! Thank you for the awesome caramel sauce tip! Slow and on low for 15 minutes. I think I can make this! I'm gonna try for sure. 😎👍
Simply amazing! Thank you for sharing!
This looks absolutely devine...I've olny had this once it looks worth the labor.!!!
I've never even tried this dessert before, but boy does it look amazing! I am excited to try this dessert. Gale Flowers
Mama...1 cup of sugar for glaze...OH I AM TRYING ORANGE EXTRACT...You Bet...Love this video THANKS!!
Excellent recipe! This was very easy to make and it came out delicious. I didn’t change anything to the recipe and it was great. Thank you for sharing and for the helpful tips. It is now in my recipe book.
I can't believe I've never had Flan before. After watching this how could I possibly wait any longer?!
Looks delish! Will try with heavy cream 😊❤
Beautiful job! What a lucky husband you have . One of my favorite desserts.
I just came across you by chance. Your voice is absolutely lovely and PERFECT for your videos❤️❤️❤️
Your flan is beautiful yummy I’m making mine right now thank you
It looks Amazing! Thank you for the recipe 😍
Omgness that's beautiful! I have been wanting to try making flan for years but haven't committed just yet. I think I will give it a try.
I would recommend adding half a block of cream cheese while blending it will make it extremely smooth and creamy. I use cajeta insted of melted sugar it is easy if you are a beginner cook. K love you so much♥️😋
Good idea... add everything as she listen then a block of cream cheese with the mixture?
Beautiful!! but add more caramel sauce on the top and let it drip all over...the best part! I used to make this dessert as a kid for my family from an old Mexican cooking book. I like the strainer tip. (And I appreciate your intelligent wording.)
Looks incredible! Why did you strain it?
I’m so excited to make this for my family holiday party’s! 🍮💛
Really beautiful,and I know this tasted amazing! Prayers and hugs
FLAN?!?! woman, you've found my weakness!!!! 🤪🤪🤪
Yum I want some now!
When I make my flan, I use almost your recipe but i add a block of cream cheese. The cream cheese makes it really silky smooth. I love how yours looks. I don’t make flan to often because I want to just sit there and eat it all up 😂😂
Audrey Velazquez willl throw in some cream cheese!
I need a written recipe with ingredients and instructions, is there a place I can find that?
mariamunson1 the ingredients are in the description 👍 just copy paste it your phone in your notes, send an email or txt to yourself and print it out for your collection.
Oh,wow I grew up the same way and I haven't made it for a long long time thank u for this recepie
I had flan for the first time a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to try it for more than 5 years. I expected it to have the consistency of say, cheese cake. It was more... not sure what the word would be. Like pudding but more stiff. It was a lot more mushy (not in a gross way) but I wasn't expecting in my that. And who ever made it added way to much lemon juice. And it felt like my teeth were decaying afterwards. But it was good. I could tell it could of been better. But this was a class. Practice makes perfected.
Edit: Creamy! You said it at the end. That's what it was!
It truly a flavor of love! I have to make several to eat lots!!!
Yess been looking for a way to make it simple looks soo gooddd going to
Make it for my bf birthday he loves flan so much ❤️✨
you are so right about caramel being difficult...i ruined so much sugar till I finally got a little. lol. And now i found your video.hehe
I know the pain of making caramel sauce and the trick is to prepare it in the same baking dish that your will be making the flan that way is a lot easier. Hugs from Canada.
Gonna try this...maybe if you warmed the baking dish a bit will help with the carmeled sugar issue..
We have friends over I gotta for dinner in two weeks I just found my desert! ❤️💕 thank you!
Thank you !
OMG looks so good and Delicious!! Yummy 😋
I love flan! I had the same issue with the sugar all the time so I started using Cajete which is a mexican Carmel. It taste just as good and saves the headache of burning the sugar and it sticking to the pan. if you want to try that 🍮
I do this too!
I use this as well!!!
Cajeta and caramel are not the same flavor. Don't give up on making the caramel from scratch you'll be sooo happy when you get it right. 😘
That looks very good! 🇨🇦
Hi!!! I have never ate Flan before. It sure does look Yummy. I am going to have to give this a try. Im sure I will like it. Thank you for the great recipe. A fan&friend. DiDi
I love to make flan!❤ I've never made homemade sauce, definitely going to try it!❤
Thank you your the best
Looks delicious.😋 Im making my own right now! Quick question Am I able to substitute the heavy cream with condensed milk? Oh would I have to use heavy cream
Did you try it with the condensed milk? I always use both heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. I would think it would make it super sweet, but still good.
Wow! Beautiful job. You have way more patience than I do. I like orange extract too. ☺
Thank you for this one!
OMG it looks badly delicious 😊😋
Your recipe looks delish! I like that you used heavy cream instead of evaporated milk. I was wondering where did you get your cake stand? TFS!
Oh I just have to try this! I haven’t had homemade flan in almost ten years 😭
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Job 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍
🥰yummy, I must try this!
Yummy! 🤤 Making it now lol my husband has never had flan! 🍮
Oh, man, that's one beautiful 'Flan'.
Looked so delicious!🥰
It looks amazing! I think flan is my most favorite dessert, but I’ve never made it. This makes me want to try. 😉
me too!
FLAN?!?! Woman, you've found my weakness!!!! 🤪🤪🤪
Looks so good 😍
OMG 😱 I’m definitely trying this over the weekend. You always make me want to cook and try dishes I don’t normally make. ♥️♥️
I always do the sugar without water. For me it lumps up so bad with water and turns out perfectly without it. I've never tried the orange extract but I think I will next time. That sounds delicious
Yum! You should be very proud of yourself for how pretty that turned out!
oh wow my favorite thanks for sharing
I heat my baking dish in a larger pan of hot water well before I pour the caramel into it. I use the same pan that I use for the water bath. It helps keep it runny so you can swirl it around the baking dish. Cool and pour your custard in and proceed per your recipe. Mine just went into the oven. My wife is from Venezuela and asked me to make this tonight and I have to please her.HaHa!
Thank you, thank you thank you. I just pulled out a pan full of very, very hard sugar that was supposed to be my caramel. I think after watching your video I'm gonna go and try again. I feel like success is very close by.
Put a squeeze of lemon or lime juice in your sugar when you're making your caramel and it will help prevent it from getting hard.
Thank you for sharing your honesty about the caramel! I tried making flan a few days ago using another video recipe I had seen and the same exact thing happened to me haha. I even used the exact same oval pan that you have! I tried a second time with a little water and the sugar stayed white and never turned into a brown caramel. It intimidated so I didn’t want to try anymore but watching you go through the same thing and try again and succeed the second time around encouraged me so I’m going to try again right now! It’s also hard to get the hard caramel off the pots once you try to wash it 😂
If you boil some water in your pot of hard sugar it will come right out.
I just put my pot and spoon in the sink, run hot tap water in it and let it soak - I may have to change the water out a few times, but I let the hot water and time do the work! 🤗
Delicious 🤤
Love it!😊🙌👍
Also a trick when your caramel hardens right away, put your baking dish in the oven & it’ll melt it right back. No headache of doing it all over again (:
Thank you for a great receiepe excellent presented! xxx
Is there a reason why you use heavy cream and not evaporated milk?
Leslie Sanchez probably to make it creamier than evaporated milk would make it
Amazing.❤️
Can I steam this or do I have to bake it in oven? 😘
I usually just buy the box stuff at Walmart! And then I add a tablespoon of sugar and my own vanilla and two egg yolks. Follow the directions on the box.😊
But I’m going to attempt this!
