"A brazilian lady friend called 'Maria do Carmo' would bring this to all my brazilian parties. She finally gave me the recipe. This flan is inexpensive and easy to do."

- Yields:
-
1 flan
- Serves:
- 8-10
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar (caramelized)
- 2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups whole milk
- 6 eggs
directions
- To caramelize the sugar: Add the sugar to a medium heavy saucepan over medium low heat. When sugar starts to melt, stir gently and occasionally until it starts to turns light, clear brown; do not let it burn. Be carefull at this point the sugar will be extremely hot! Use oven mits to pour the caramelized sugar into a ring mold/or pan. Swirl the sugar over the sides to completely cover the pan.
- For the flan: Mix all of the ingredients with a blender or mixer. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated but do not overmix as it will cause bubbles in your flan. Pour mixture into the mold/pan. Put the mold/pan into a larger pan with water in it to make a 'bain marie'. Carefully put this into the oven at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hours. Check with a toothpick in the center of the flan to make sure it is set up. Carefully remove your pan from the oven as the water will be very hot.
- Cool the flan for a few hours or better yet overnight in the refrigerator and invert into a serving plate that is large enough to accomodate the flan and some of the caramel.
