This is the easiest, silkiest flan recipe (crème This is the easiest, silkiest flan recipe (crème caramel) I've ever made. Made with a can of condensed milk, the same amount of fresh milk (I just top up the empty can) and 4 eggs, you blend it together and simply pour it on top of the simple caramel layer. A water-bath ensures even baking. Silky dreamy caramel custard... Is there anything better??? Recipe link in my bio. 🍮 PS: I do add a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt too, but that's optional. 😍
