Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Water for the water bath

How to Make Caramel Flan with Fresh Berries

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round flan mold or individual ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Allow the caramel to harden while you prepare the flan mixture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold.
  5. Place the flan mold in a large baking dish. Fill the baking dish with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold, creating a water bath.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in 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 for best results.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, then invert onto a serving plate. Top with fresh raspberries and blueberries.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your caramel is not too dark to avoid a bitter taste.
  • Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating; this helps achieve the perfect texture.
  • For a smoother flan, strain the egg mixture before pouring it into the mold.

Easy Variations

  • Add a splash of orange or lemon zest to the flan mixture for a citrusy twist.
  • Substitute the fresh berries with seasonal fruits like strawberries or kiwi.
  • Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for an extra indulgent dessert.

What to Serve With It

  • A dollop of whipped cream adds a light touch.
  • Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
  • Serve alongside coffee or tea for a perfect end to a meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover flan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best served chilled, so no reheating is necessary.
