Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh raspberries, for topping

How to Make Lemon Flan with Fresh Raspberries

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to come to a boil without stirring until it turns a golden amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Quickly pour the caramel into a round 9-inch flan mold or pie dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
  3. In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the lemon mixture over the cooled caramel in the mold.
  5. Place the mold in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold. This creates a water bath that ensures even cooking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it. Invert onto a serving plate and gently lift off the mold. Top with fresh raspberries before slicing.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the caramel is not overcooked to prevent a bitter taste.
  • Blend the mixture until smooth for a creamy texture.
  • Allow the flan to chill thoroughly for the best slicing results.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor and presentation.

Easy Variations

  • Add a hint of zest: Incorporate lemon zest into the flan mixture for an extra citrus punch.
  • Berry bliss: Top with a mix of seasonal berries for a colorful twist.
  • Coconut cream: Substitute half of the whole milk with coconut milk for a tropical flair.

What to Serve With It

  • A dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
  • A drizzle of raspberry coulis for extra sweetness.
  • Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flan is best served cold and should not be reheated.
