Equipment

  • 6 ramekins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 can (14 ounces) dulce de leche
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 6 eggs

Instructions

  • In a clear, microwave-safe bowl, combine water and sugar. Stir well under sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Microwave on high for about 6 to 7 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold. Immediately pour into the ramekins, swirling around to cover the bottom.
  • In a bowl, combine dulce de leche and eggs. Gently stir in one direction until smooth.
  • Add evaporated milk and gently stir in one direction until well-combined.
  • Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a bowl. Pour into prepared ramekins and cover with foil. 
  • Arrange in a single layer in a wide, oven-safe pan. Carefully add about 1-inch of water to the pan (water bath).
  • Bake in a 375 F oven for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate to set. To serve, turn flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.
