Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole or semi-skimmed milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 8 large eggs

For the caramel:

  • 1 cup sugar. with a dash of water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  • In a small saucepan, put the cup of sugar with a splash of water, heat it over low heat without stirring until it turns into caramel.
  • Carefully pour this caramel into the bowl in which you will make the "leche asada" (baked milk dessert).
  • In a blender, mix the rest of the ingredients.
  • Process until it is homogeneous and pour the mixture into the bowl with caramel.
  • Cook directly over heat (without using a water bath, which is the major difference between flan and "leche asada") and cook until a knife inserted comes out dry.
  • The cooking time depends on the depth of the bowl, but it should be at least 30-40 minutes.
  • Let it cool in a wire rack at room temperature.
  • Refrigerate and enjoy!
