Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons orange blossom water
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown to make the caramel.
  2. Pour the caramel into a flan mold, tilting the mold to coat the bottom evenly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the flan mold over the caramel.
  5. Cover the flan mold with aluminum foil and place it in a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the flan mold.
  6. Place the pot on the stovetop over medium heat and let the flan steam for about 1 hour, or until set.
  7. Remove the flan mold from the pot and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, place a serving plate on top of the mold, and carefully invert the flan onto the plate.
  9. Slice and serve the flan chilled, with the caramel sauce drizzled over each portion.
