Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon water
5 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Fill a baking dish half way with hot water for the water bath.
  • Heat sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-low heat; constantly swirl the sugar mixture in the pan until sugar dissolves and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, as sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into a shallow baking dish and gently tilt dish to coat the bottom with caramel.
  • Mix egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, orange juice, and orange zest in a large oven-safe bowl; gently pour custard over caramel in baking dish. Cover the flan with foil to prevent a skin forming on top, if you like.
  • Set bowl into the water bath and bake in the preheated oven until until flan has set but still jiggles slightly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow flan to cool to room temperature, then remove foil, and place flan in the fridge to chill, about 2 hours.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen from dish; turn flan onto a rimmed serving plate to release custard and let caramel sauce flow over the flan.
