INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 🍬 1 cup white sugar
    • 🥫 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    • 🥛 1 cup whole milk
    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 🥚 3 large egg yolks
    • 🍊 ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
    • 🍊 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 🥛 1 cup heavy cream

STEPS

1

Place sugar into a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and turns a golden amber color, about 10 minutes. Pour caramel syrup into a flan mold and set aside to cool.

2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place an oven rack in the middle position.

3

Blend sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, egg yolks, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla, and cornstarch until smooth, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and pulse several times. Pour mixture over the cooled caramel syrup in the flan mold.

4

Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled flan mold carefully in the pan. Add boiling water to the roasting pan, filling halfway up the sides of the mold.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set but slightly jiggles, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

6

Cool the flan completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

7

To serve, run a sharp paring knife around the mold edges, invert onto a serving plate, and carefully lift the mold to release the flan.
