Ingredients
Flan Custard
- 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 5 large eggs
- 5 Tbsp mashed sweet potato
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
Caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Make the Caramel
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring until it turns into a golden caramel, about 10 minutes. Pour it into a flan pan coated with nonstick spray.
For the Flan
- Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C).
- Blend eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, mashed sweet potato, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- Pour the flan mixture over the caramel in the flan pan.
- Place the flan pan in a larger baking dish, filling the larger dish with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the flan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To serve, invert onto a plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over.
