Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a clear, microwave-safe bowl, combine water and sugar. Stir well under sugar is completely dissolved.
- Microwave on high for about 4 to 5 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold. Immediately pour into the ramekins or llaneras.
- In a bowl, gently stir eggs and condensed milk until there are no streaks of white.
- Add evaporated milk and stir until well combined.
- Add lime zest and stir.
- Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain mixture.
- Pour into prepared ramekins. Cover ramekins with foil and arrange in a wide, oven-safe dish with about 1-inch of water (water bath).
- Bake in the 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 the flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.
Notes
- Break and stir the eggs first with the condensed milk until there are no more white streaks before you add the evaporated milk, as I find the eggs harder to stir when swimming in liquid.
- Straining the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth is the secret to super smooth Leche flan.
- If there are many bubbles in the mixture, allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes for the bubbles to subside, and skim any foam that rises on top.
- You can steam the Leche flan if you like, but my preferred technique is baking it in the oven using a bain-marie or water bath. Add water halfway through the molds to keep the water from seeping inside.
- I used 1-cup ramekins to make the flan, but you can use three 2-cup size llaneras. Adjust cook times and check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the flan. If it comes out clean, the flan is ready to cool.
- To easily remove the flan from the ramekin, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, invert it on a plate, and gently tap all around the ramekin to release the flan.
