Ingredients:

3 eggs
1 12oz can of evaporated milk
1 14oz can of condensed milk
1/4 cup of white granulated sugar

Preparation:

1. Fill up a 3 quart sauce pan 1/3 of the way up with water and place over medium-low heat, and bring to a simmer.

2. Pour the evaporated and condensed milk into a blender along with the eggs, and mix for about a minute.

3. Place a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the sugar to it. Allow for the sugar to melt and caramelize, then immediately pour it into a medium heat-resistant glass bowl. Allow the caramel to cool down for 10-15 minutes.

4. Now add the milk mixture to the bowl, and cover tightly with aluminum foil, and then a flat lid.

5. Take the covered bowl, and place over the saucepan with simmering water - this is called a bain-marie. Cook for about 40 minutes to 1 hour or until the milk has settled, but still has a slight jiggle to it.

6. When done remove the flan from the heat and let it cool down for a few minutes.

You can scoop it out from the bowl to serve, or you can flip it upside down over a serving dish. Either way, you will love this super easy dessert!
