To make this Mexican flan de leche, you'll need a few key ingredients and equipment. First, you'll need whole milk, as it will give the flan a rich and creamy texture. You'll also need egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract for the custard base. For the caramel sauce, you'll need granulated sugar and water. For equipment, you'll need a large mixing bowl, a 9-inch round baking dish, and a baking sheet to create a water bath for baking the flan.
To ensure your Mexican flan de leche turns out perfectly, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
To give your Mexican flan de leche a unique twist, you can add a few bursts of flavor with some cinnamon sticks and orange peel. Simply add these ingredients to the milk and bring it to a boil before straining and adding it to the custard base. This will infuse the custard with a subtle but delicious flavor.
Once your Mexican flan de leche is baked and cooled, it's time to serve and enjoy! To release the flan from the baking dish, run a knife around the edge and then invert it onto a serving plate. The caramel sauce will pool on top of the flan, creating a beautiful and delicious topping. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh berries for a refreshing and satisfying dessert.
