Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and essential dairy in the baking and refrigerator aisles of major Canadian grocery chains. For the best results, use standard 300 ml cans of condensed milk. If you prefer a more intense caramel, you may slightly increase the sugar ratio.
Preparation method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes.
- Combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk in a blender; process for approximately 3 minutes until the mixture is perfectly uniform.
- Prepare the caramel directly in a round fluted tube pan (Bundt pan); add the sugar and heat over low heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally until it melts into a golden amber caramel.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the pan with the warm caramel sauce.
- Pour the blended custard mixture into the prepared, caramelized pan.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the flan is set and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
- Chill for at least 4 hours—or ideally overnight—to ensure the texture is perfectly set.
- To unmold, run a thin knife around the inner and outer edges, then carefully invert the pan onto a serving platter.
