This Flan was awesome. Take it from someone who knows nothing about baking. Easy and fast. Only one word of advice make it the night before you need it,and to take it out properly heat the next day for about 1 minute on the stove top, take a toothpick and round out the cake along the sides. It will come out beautiful. EVERYONE loved it. Will def. make this again. Thanx

Turned out great despite all the warnings. The sugar had a very slight burnt taste, so be sure to stop cooking it as soon as it's all melted. I made the sugar last so that it wouldn't cool and be difficult to coat the dish. I did cook the flan about 70 minutes until a knife came out clean from the middle. Refrigerating it does help firm it up if you're worried about it not being done. Flip it out onto a serving dish before the sugar cools and hardens to the baking dish. I added berries to give it more color and flavor, making a sauce by simply smashing the berries with some sugar.

I can't believe I made flan! This recepie was easy enough to follow and is sure to impress any dinner guest after some Mexican cuisine. The caramel hardened quite quickly and did not spread as evenly as I had hoped but I imagine that was my fault rather than the recepies. I served it hot with whipped cream as well as frozen with strawberries the following day. Both crowds loved it and I will be sure to make this again when I can fit it in!

So quick, so easy and SO GOOD!!! Just a few notes, I used evaporated milk instead of whole milk just because that's what I had on hand. Worked out just fine. Make the cream mixture first then set it aside to make the caramel, that way the carmel doesn't have enough time to set up hard before you pour the cream over it. I used a plain wire whisk to beat the cream mixture so it took some work but turned out perfect. I put a large loaf pan in the bain-marie and put it in the oven while it was preheating so the pan was nice and warm when I took it out to add the carmel and cream. Baked for and hour and a half. I read it over on the Mexico International page on this site that a woman there turns her flan out as soon as she can comfortably hand the pan so that's what I did. I removed the loaf pan from the bain-maire and let it cool for about 10 mins on a wire rack, ran a small knife around the edges and inverted onto a platter. Turned out perfect without a single drop of carmel left in the loaf pan, a creamy carmelized top on the flan and a beautiful little puddle of carmel all the way around the flan!

This is fabulous flan! Better than restaurants! I solved the problem of the caramel hardening too fast. Put the pan of water in the pre-heated oven, and put the pan you will put the flan in, in the water bath. Then make the caramel and by that time the pan will be hot and the caramel will swirl just fine. I used a round corningware casserole. After the flan has cooled run a knife around the edge to facilitate unmolding. I baked mine for 1 1/2 hrs, I live at high altitude and things always take longer anyway. Bake the flan until it is well set and the knife comes out mostly clean. It continues to cook a little more after it comes out of the oven so if you bake it until the knife is completely clean it will be tough around the edges. I used my hand blender. Thank You for this wonderful recipe!

I was really happy with the way this turned out, especially considering I forgot the vanilla! I made it for my mom's birthday (she grew up in Puerto Rico and knows about good flan!) and she really enjoyed it. Two notes that make me wish I had read more reviews before I made it - it overflowed from my blender (and its a larger one) and I used a 1.5 qt loaf pan and it just fit. I had to cook well over an hour and it was still jiggly, but as many reviewers said - it set in the refridgerator overnight. I look forward to making it again either splitting it up in the blender or using a mixer.

Great recipe.....came out perfect the first time. Only one recommendation. Make sure you allow the pan to cool completely before placing into the plate. I recommend placing it in the fridge for a while.

This was really good. The custard part is creamy and dense and there is no eggy taste. The vanilla taste was light and good but I might add a little bit more next time. The caramel didn't turn out right but I am pretty sure thats because I've never made it before, with practice I should get it right. I think this might be a really good dessert to make for a dinner party.

I made this Flan for a Mexican Fiesta party and it was a hit!!! Sooooo easy and absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Two things though; one, I ended up cooking ot for a total of 70 minutes and the second thing is be careful when you're melting your sugar...don't do it too long because it can actually get a "burnt" taste to it.

I made this flan for a friend from Puerto Rico. He loved it! I used a loaf pan instead of a casserole dish so it needed to cook an additional 10 minutes. This really was so simple to make, and once cool, came right out of the pan. Thanks!

I made this with my 12 year old daughter, our first flan and it came out great. We had so much fun, this recipe was so easy to follow I would recommend it to anyone. The one thing I do recommend is to remove the flan from the hot water for cooling, otherwise it will continue to cook.

This recipe was very good and simple to prepare. Here's 2 suggestions - you need to split it up for the blender or unless you have a big blender. I had to split it up into 2 batches. I beat the eggs first, then added the remaining ingredients and beat it on speed 5 (medium) for about 2 min. Also, remove it from the water bath immediately upon taking it out of the oven or it will overcook while you think it is cooling. I used 12 custard dishes instead of making it in the bigger pan I cooked it 50 minutes. I took it out of the water bath and set it on a cutting board to and put in the refrigerator cool. My husband and kids loved it.
