Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown.

Pour the caramel into a flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

In a blender, combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and Mexican vanilla.

Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture over the caramel in the mold.

Place the flan mold in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with water to create a water bath.

Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until set (insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean).

Remove from the oven and let cool.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

To serve, invert the flan onto a plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
