Dulce de Leche Flan

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 8 egg yolks
• 1 can (14 ounces) dulce de leche
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Place 3 tablespoons of sugar in each of the three llaneras. Set the llanera on the stove over low heat and, using tongs, move it repeatedly over the flames until the sugar melts and turns into a golden liquid. Continuously tilt and swirl the llanera to ensure even melting and to distribute the liquid on the bottom of the mold. Remove from heat and allow caramel to cool and harden. Repeat the process with the remaining llanera.

3. 3

   In a blender, combine egg yolks, dulce de leche, and evaporated milk. Blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the mixture. Let it stand for a few minutes to allow the bubbles to subside.

5. 5

   Pour into the prepared llaneras, cover tightly with foil, and arrange the llaneras in a pan in a water bath.

6. 6

   Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven, let cool, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to set completely. To serve, turn the flan out onto a serving plate, caramel on top.
