I am part Mexican/Part Cuban so I can honestly say the Cuban flan is so much better. The Mexican one is a little waterier and not as sweet and rich. We usually serve it with a side of Shaved coconut in syrup. This is so addictive!
For a single flan the basic ingredients are:
1 Cup of milk
1 Can of Condensed milk
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
Cinnamon pinch
teaspoon of vanilla extract
Today I made 3 flans for our restaurant so this is what you will see done :)
And a cup of sugar which you will caramelize on the stove top inside actual "flan pan"
It takes quite a few eggs to do the 3 at a time :)
It's like art! :)
Here is the caramelized sugar in the pan. Some like it darker I like it on the lighter side.
You then boil a cup of milk per flan with vanilla extract and cinnamon
Mix condensed milk & eggs
Pour in boiled milk to mixture
Pour into "Flan pan"
Cook at 350 for 1:19
Cook in bain-marie
TADA!

You make it sound so easy, but I know I'd mess it up! Looks so elegant!
It's really easy once you get a hang of it. The hardest part is nailing down the caramelized sugar. :) Thanks! It's sooo yummy!
That looks fabulous! Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but can you make it in something other than a "flan pan"? I would love to give this a try!
I actually used a glass pie dish a few time and it worked great. I caramelized the sugar in a pot and poured it in. The "only" tricky part is separating the flan from the pie dish at the end but nothing a little knife work and jiggling wont fix.Try it,it's sooooo good! The only recommendation I can give you when making it,don't over mix all ingredients. Mix enough where they appear as one,if possible mix by hand with a whisk :)
Oh and refrigerate!! It taste best cold! :)
i have tried mexican flan and didnt care for it but this sounds really good! i think it would be sweeter than the mexican kind, which i would like.
I have never tried flan, looks fun though and not too hard to make. Thanks.
I wouldn't honestly try to do this recipe at home,because I would be afraid I would mess it up.I do love flan though!
That looks amazing...I stink at cooking anything though, wonder if I could pull that off?
I was born in Cuba and I love flan. This is a different recipe from my Mom and I am going to try it for Sunday's dessert. Thank you!
OMG! it looks so yummy and delicious! I wanna these sweet desert at home too! thank for sharing!
This looks really good. I've never tried flan so I'm gonna try and make this. thanks for the recipe and step by step instructions !
Wow! Thanks for this. I'm going to try it.
This looks amazing. I've only had Mexican flan, so I'd love to try this version! Ooh, my mouth is watering!
It's so big o.O Is flan usually cake-sized? I am used to restaurant single-serve portions =3
I love flan! Cuban flan, any kind of flan! This looks like a delicious recipe and I can't wait to try it.
I love your recipes! they all look really good! Hoping to try them all out eventually :)
That looks delicious but I'm not sure I'd be able to make it like you do.
This looks ah-maxing! I've never had Cuban flan. I will most definitely be trying this!
Oh my pregnant lady cravings!!! I love this flan so bad. It seems similar to what my mom makes (Brazilian). Glad I get to go home in a few weeks to visit :) this post totally gave me a massive craving.
I love flan!
My husband has been begging me to make Flan for years. Now I may actually do it. Thank you for the recipe.
It's so easy!!
You are a brave soul. I love flan but have been terrified to try it. You make it look easy, so just maybe I might give it a try
Oh my word, this looks delicious. I never ate flan until a couple years ago, an now I have to order every time I go to my favorite Mexican restaurant.
Ohhh thanks for the recipe, this sounds YUMMY, I love Flan, especially the ones that are not as sweet. I will try this recipe.
Thanks again!
I haven't made flan in a few years. My son is allergic to eggs so, of course, flan is a little off limits. But this looks delicious!
