Flan de leche is possibly one of the most recognized Cuban desserts in the world. It is exquisite and you definitely need to give it a try. It is prepared either plain or with added flavors such as coconut, pineapple, etc.

How to Make Cuban Flan:

  1. In a flan pot or 2 quart pot with a tight fitting lid, caramelize 1/2 cup sugar over a medium heat, stirring constantly until it has melted and is amber in color.
  2. Remove from the stove and move caramel around the sides of pot, half way up the sides.
  3. Mix the eggs with another 1/2 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla and mix well. (I do this with a blender but you don’t have to).
  4. Place the egg mixture in the flan pot, and cover with the lid, or in the 2 quart pot, and cover with tightly fitting aluminum foil and place the lid on top.
  5. Place the pot in another pot big enough to hold it and fill with about 1 1/2 inch of water.
  6. Bake at 350° F for at least 1 hour.
  7. To check the flan is done, remove the lid and stick a kitchen knife into the center of the flan. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
  8. Remove the pot from the water pot and cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, remove the lid/foil and place a dish or plate bigger than the top of the pot on top. Make sure the plate has a small lip as the caramel will run out otherwise.
  10. Place one hand on the bottom of the pot and one hand on the top of the plate and turn upside down.
  11. Serve or place in the refrigerator, covered, until you are ready to serve.
