Being lazy pays off – sometimes! This is the morale of this post and the video below 🙂 I love flan also known as cream caramel in the middle east, but there is no way I would do all those steps to make it from scratch. So many eggs! This recipe will be easy and fulfilling, I promise.

I tried few brands and by far my favorite one is “The Royal”. We will follow all directions as is on the box but with tiny twists:

• We will use two packets not one
• Do not use milk only as instructed, we will add heavy whipping cream, half and half and more

Ingredients:

• 2 packets of “The royal”
• 4 cups 2% milk
• 2 cups half and half
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 4 tbsp NIDO (powder milk)
• 1 tbsp or packet of vanilla

We will mix all the ingredients above in a bowl and set aside

Follow exact same directions as on the box from here

Add the flan mix to the milk on a pot on medium heat

Keep stirring, stirring and stirring until the boiling point. Otherwise it will burn from the bottom and tiny pieces of burnt flan will be floating around 🙂

In a non stick cake pan, add the caramel sauce – do not spread and leave it thick

Pour the flan mix and set aside for 30 mins to cool

Refirgerate for 5 hours or more

Flip and enjoy! but do not blob as I did at the end of the video
