I made this for a friend who always orders the flan if it is on the menu at a restaurant, and she said this is the best flan she ever had. She is always bugging me to make it. It doesn't fit in my blender so I mix half at a time in there and then combine it in a bowl. Very easy and very good.

My first time making flan... didn't like it. I'm sure the recipe is great, but I'm just not a fan of flan at all. It also didn't turn out very smooth - but pehaps I blended it too much, or not enough! Four stars b/c I'm sure the recipe is fine.

I made this recipe for some friends after we all came back from a trip to Mexico. They said it tasted better than any of the flan we had in the restaurants there. I used brandy instead of vanilla extract, and stirred a bit of brandy into the caramelized sugar at the end of melting, and that added a nice flavor. I also used 12 ramekins instead of one large dish and they came out perfect – I reduced the cooking time by about 10 minutes to accommodate for the smaller bowls. Highly recommended!

Is it normal for the top to be very brown while baking? It didn't affect the taste, but wasn't very attractive. Very thick and creamy...quite good. I baked it a little longer than suggested, but it still wasn't quite long enough. Even after refrigerating, the very center portion was a little runny. Might have to make a few changes for next time.

BETH -- thank you!!! I have been searching for a good flan recipe for about a year now. This is the simplicity I was longing to achieve. This recipe, I have ranked highest above all. It was easy to make and now it is a definite family favorite. This is a true Mexican dessert. (Anyone reading this..look no further - this is it.)

The best flan I've tasted. Took me a few times to get the caramel right but it's fantastic and well worth the persistence to get it right. I took another reviewer's advice and used a big bowl and a mixer instead of a blender. I also fill one large pie dish and a smaller little casserole dish (like a single serving size) and it uses up the little leftover mix that I have. My mom usually takes that little dish home with her. She is a veteran cook and she licked her plate clean the first time she ate this. Also, I cook the small dish for the same time with no problems. I like to eat it cold so after I let it cool (it will be runny when you take it out of the oven but will set nicely after it cools), I put it in the fridge. It makes it easy to cook the day before a dinner party.

To me, this tasted more like a Creme Brulee. But it was tasty. It was super thick and super creamy, which made it hard to eat a lot of at once. Also, I ended up burning the sugar before I put it in the pan. I think it should have been a little less "dark brown." I don't know that I'll make this again, because it was so thick and rich, and I'm really the only person in my house who likes flan. I think I'll stick with Jello Flan.

I followed the recipe exactly and after 50 minutes, the top was dark brown but the center wasn't even a bit set--completely liquid. I am an accomplished cook, and have no idea what what went wrong. If someone can tell me, I'd like to know!

Wonderful taste and texture.....delicious either warm or cold. The mixture does completely fill my blender...I may reduce the ingredients a small bit next time....definately will serve again.

This was great! I made two of them, one for New Year's Eve, & and one for New Year's Day. They were big hits on both occasions. I liked it because the ingredients were simple & basic, & the directions were specific & clear. I found that the advice regarding melting the sugar was very helpful (I have burnt sugar before when I didn't pay close attention). Everything came off without a hitch, except that I tried it in a blender the first time, but it was too full & ended up messy when I tried to pour it. So, the second time, I just used a regular mixer & bowl & it was fine. I also put the finished flan into the refrigerator overnight, so that it would set a little more & be cold when served. Very yummy & classy! Thanks, Beth! (I'm making it again tonight for a baby shower tomorrow!) :)

This flan recipe is really good - it's restaurant quality!!!! It took me 1-1/2 hours to cook it. I will definately make this again, maybe even try adding some chocolate. Thanks Beth!
