Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• ice
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 1.75 cups water
• 0.75 cup sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cook ¾ cup sugar in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and caramel-colored. Carefully pour into eight 6-ounce ungreased custard cups, tilting to coat bottoms completely.

Step 3

Beat eggs in a medium bowl; beat in 1 ¾ cups water, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Divide among the prepared custard cups; set cups in a large shallow baking pan. Fill the pan with 1 inch hot water.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer cups to a wire rack; cool for 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours to overnight.

Step 5

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Fill a medium metal bowl halfway with ice. Combine 1 cup sugar and ¼ cup water in a medium saucepan; stir. Cover the saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until light brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Immediately place the pan in the bowl of ice for 1 minute. Carefully and decoratively drizzle sugar over the prepared baking sheet; cool, then peel sugar garnish from foil.

Step 6

Loosen sides of flans with a small knife; invert onto rimmed serving plates. Top with sugar garnish.
