Prepare the caramel (optional): You can make a quick caramel sauce by melting sugar over low heat until it turns a golden amber color. Pour it into your molds or ramekins and let it harden while you prepare the flan.
Mix the flan base: Combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk the mixture well to avoid lumps.
Cook gently: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a smooth custard. This usually takes just a few minutes.
Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract for that classic, comforting flavor.
Pour and chill: Pour the custard into your prepared molds over the caramel or directly into serving dishes. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least a few hours until fully set.
Serve: Run a knife around the edges to loosen the flan, then invert onto a plate if using molds. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce or garnish with fresh berries.
Tips for Perfect Flan Every Time
Avoid lumps: Whisk the cornstarch into the milk thoroughly before heating to prevent clumps.
Constant stirring: Keep stirring during cooking to ensure even thickening and prevent burning.
Chill well: Flan tastes best when chilled properly; overnight refrigeration is ideal.
Customization: Add a touch of cinnamon or citrus zest for a twist on the classic flavor.
