Ingredients

5 eggs

1 can evaporated milk

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp almond extract

pinch of salt

1 cup sugar

Directions

beat eggs in a bowl

add evaporated milk and keep beating

strain the mixture through a strainer

add can of condensed milk, vanilla and almond extracts and mix

preheat oven 350 degrees

heat cup of sugar over medium-high heat until melted/ caramelized ***do not burn sugar...continue to stir until it turns brown and all sugar is melted

immediately pour caramel into heat proof mold and tilt to coat bottom evenly

slowly pour egg and milk mixture over caramel

cover mold with aluminum foil or with lid if it has one..just makesure it is also heat proof

place covered mold into a large baking dish

fill large baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller mold

bake for about 50 minutes...knife inserted in center should come out clean...otherwise bake a bit longer

once done cool flan completely ***if using glass mold carefully place on a wire rack or towel but avoid by all means anything cold because glass mold will crack into pieces***

once cooled place large plate over mold and carefully flip over to invert the flan ***make sure plate is also large enough to hold extra caramel that drips down the sides of the flan

refrigerate atleast 2 hours or until cooled completely

This is really good and the taste is out of this world...I make the same mixture in my chocolate flan cake.

The technique for making the caramel and cooking in a water bath are excellent. I do not, however like using canned product (sorry).

I think I overcooked the caramel...it reached hard candy stage and did not want to leave my baking dish...maybe spraying with non-stick spray first would help. The custard seems a little over-cooked too. Next time I'll bake it like I do cheesecake - 1hr at 250, then 1 hr with oven off and door closed. Flavor was good though - I used coconut instead of almond; sweet, creamy and delicious.
