This is an heirloom family recipe from Mr. Renee Lalane. This is so good- I have never tasted anything so smooth and creamy and I love the caramel sauce.

  • 6. Remove from oven, let cool in bundt pan for 15 minutes- then loosen the top edge of flan from pan so as not to disturb the caramel that is 1/2 way down.
  • 7. Tilt pan back and forth until you can see the caramel oozing up the sides of the pan. Cover and chill for 6 hours or over night.
  • 8. Place plater on top of bundt pan. Holding tight against each other;flip over carefully so you don't lose the wonderful caramel. Store any left over flan in the refrigerator.
