In reply to Yvonne. Hi Yvonne, I usually bake for 40-50 minutes when making the flan in small molds. However, I don't serve it in the molds so not sure how to add the caramel as it will become hard almost immediately. You can try with store-bought caramel sauce instead, that will work best in my opinion.

Hi,

Thank you for the recipe. If I would like to bake the flan in eight mini ramekins, how should I adjust the baking time? If I plan to serve the flan directly in the ramekin, would it be possible to pour the caramel on top of the baked flan instead of on the bottom before baking?

This Mexican Flan recipe is a game-changer! The creamy custard and gooey caramel are a dream. I love how easy it is with both oven and stove options. It’s our go-to dessert now. Will definitely try this again!

I LOVED IT! It was so easy to make, even if I was afraid it will fall apart when trying to unfolded, it didn’t!

In reply to Joanne.

Hi Joanne, I really don’t know where you could find a pan like that in Canada, mine is an old pan my husband’s grandma bought a very long time ago.
But you can make this recipe in a 8-9 inches round cake pan too, just make sure to coat well the bottom and a bit of the sides with the caramel so it will be easier to unmold.

Hello, I really want to try this, sounds just like creme caramel, my favourite dessert! I am wanting a pan like you use here. Cannot seem to find one online – they are have removable bottoms, which is not good if you are flipping the flan over. Any suggestions on where a Canadian could buy a similar pan?

It was my wife’s birthday and I wanted to surprise her with an easy recipe from her country. After looking for some Mexican desserts I found this and it looked good: little ingredients, easy method.

It did not fail. Thank you.

PS: I had a little bit of trouble when removing the flan from the mold but managed to do it.

SO EASY! I couldn’t believe how easy this flan was to make and I was a little bit skeptical it will turn out good but oh my! It was delicious, just as you said: silky.

I used regular milk, even though I had some evaporated milk in my pantry but I wanted to try this simple recipe and see if really was as good as you claimed, and YES! it was, thank you, thank you. Definitely one of the best Mexican flan recipes out there, authentic, easy, and even cheap! Can’t ask for more.
