ARGENTINA GASTRODIPLOMACY - Dessert Flan with Dulce de Leche

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: coconut milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk + sugar

dulce de leche

🥗Healthier: caramel sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade caramel

Homemade caramel can be made with simple ingredients at a lower cost.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water; heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly; set aside to cool.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Pour the egg mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.

Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan; fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the dish.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and drizzle with dulce de leche.
