Start by caramelizing sugar with a little bit of water on high heat until it becomes nice and brown.

Pour the caramelized sugar into the bottom of ramekins, mixing it around to cover the bottom.

Set the ramekins aside after adding the caramel.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, a little sugar, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Fill the ramekins with the flan mixture.

Place the ramekins in a baking dish and add water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Bake at 325°F for about an hour.

Once cooked, garnish the flan with whipped cream, cherries, fresh mint, and some of the caramel sauce from the bottom of the ramekin.
