Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 60 ml Water
• 4 Large eggs
• 397 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 240 ml Whole milk
• 120 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Prepare a large roasting pan that can accommodate your flan mold or ramekins, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and let it boil until the mixture turns a deep amber caramel color (about 8-10 minutes). Be careful not to burn the caramel.

Step 3

Immediately and carefully pour the hot caramel into the bottom of a flan mold or evenly distribute it among individual ramekins. Swirl to coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold or ramekins.

Step 6

Place the flan mold or ramekins inside the prepared roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the mold or ramekins, creating a water bath.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when shaken.

Step 8

Remove the roasting pan from the oven and allow the flan to cool in the water bath for 15-20 minutes. Then, remove the mold or ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

Step 10

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen and invert onto a serving plate. If using ramekins, invert each one individually onto dessert plates.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your creamy Flan De Naranja with the luscious caramel sauce!
