🍮 Classic Brazilian Flan (Pudim)

Description:
A classic Brazilian dessert, this sweet and creamy flan is topped with a golden caramel sauce. Simple to make and impossible to resist!

🧂 Ingredients

For the flan:

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395g)
• 2 cans full-fat milk (use the same can to measure)
• 3 eggs

For the caramel sauce:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the caramel:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns golden brown.
2. Carefully add the water (it will bubble), stirring until fully dissolved.
3. Pour the caramel into a flan mold (with a hole in the middle), coating the sides. Set aside.

2. Make the flan:

1. In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and eggs. Blend for about 1 minute.
2. Pour the mixture into the caramel-coated mold.

3. Bake in a water bath:

1. Cover the mold with aluminum foil.
2. Place the mold in a larger baking pan filled with hot water (water bath).
3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

4. Cool and unmold:

1. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.

Tip: For a smooth flan without holes, blend gently and avoid overmixing.
