Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for peach sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water

How to Make Caramel Flan with Peach Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it turns into a golden caramel. Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
  3. In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well mixed.
  4. Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the cake pan.
  5. Place the cake pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water to create a water bath for the flan. This helps it cook evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. To make the peach sauce, combine the diced peaches, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the peaches soften and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool.
  9. Once the flan is chilled, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving platter. Pour the fresh peach sauce over the top or serve it on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the sugar for the caramel is melted slowly to prevent burning.
  • Use ripe peaches for the sauce for the best flavor.
  • Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating to avoid condensation on the surface.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute peaches with other fruits like mango or berries for different flavor profiles.
  • Add a splash of rum or bourbon to the peach sauce for an adult twist.
  • Top the flan with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish.
  • A dollop of whipped cream.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • Coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flan is best enjoyed chilled and does not need reheating.
