Oh yes 😍 Three Milks Flan (or Tres Leches Flan) — creamy, custardy, and soaked with that irresistible milk mixture. Sweet, smooth, and perfect for dessert lovers. Here’s a classic, foolproof recipe.
🥛 Three Milks Flan
Ingredients
For the caramel:
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp water
For the flan custard:
-
4 large eggs
-
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
-
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
-
½ cup whole milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the caramel
-
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water.
-
Cook over medium heat until golden brown (watch carefully — it can burn fast).
-
Pour caramel immediately into a 9-inch round flan mold or baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
2️⃣ Make the custard
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Pour the mixture over the caramel in the flan dish.
3️⃣ Bake in a water bath
-
Place the flan dish in a larger baking pan.
-
Pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
-
Bake 50–60 minutes, until the flan is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
4️⃣ Chill & serve
-
Remove flan from water bath and let cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Run a knife around the edges, invert onto a plate, and let the caramel drizzle over the top.
✨ Tips for Perfect Flan
-
Strain custard before pouring to avoid bubbles.
-
Don’t overbake — the center should be a bit wobbly; it firms while chilling.
-
Use heavy cream instead of whole milk for an extra creamy texture.
-
Let it chill overnight for the best flavor and texture.
If you want, I can give a quick air fryer version or a mini flan cups version for easier serving and faster chilling.
