01
Step 1
Start by whisking together the egg yolks, condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a bowl, then set it aside. Next, melt the margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir constantly until it dissolves completely and becomes smooth. Pour the caramelized sugar evenly into the bottom of a pie plate. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the sugar.

Step 2
Cover the pie plate with foil. Fill a large pot about three-quarters full with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Place the pie plate inside the pot, making sure it’s sitting above the simmering water, and let it cook for about 65 to 70 minutes, or until the flan is set.

Step 3
When it’s done, take the flan out of the water and let it cool for at least half an hour. To serve, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then flip it onto a serving plate. You can enjoy it at room temperature or chilled, whichever you prefer.
Why you’ll love it
This dessert is a timeless favorite known for its creamy texture and rich caramel flavor. It’s easy to make and always impresses with its smooth, silky finish. Perfect for any occasion, it brings a comforting sweetness that everyone enjoys.
How to serve
Serve chilled with a drizzle of extra caramel sauce on top. It pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of toasted coconut or a few mint leaves.
Storage & leftovers
Keep the flan covered in the refrigerator to maintain its moisture and flavor. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture and make it less creamy.
