How to make Caramelized Pineapple Flan

For the Caramel

  1. Step 1

    Combine the sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan, then add the water to cover.

  2. Step 2

    Heat over low heat until the mixture turns into a golden caramel.

  3. Step 3

    Coat the bottom of a large flan mold or individual molds with the caramel and set aside.

For the Flan

  1. Step 1

    Mix the condensed milk with the regular milk in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until all the ingredients are fully combined.

  3. Step 3

    Process the pineapple slices (except for 4 slices reserved for decoration) and add them to the flan mixture.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated mold(s).

  5. Step 5

    Cook the flan in a water bath (bain-marie) at 175°C (350°F) for approximately 1 hour.

  6. Step 6

    Insert a toothpick into the flan to check if it’s done; if it comes out clean, remove the flan from the oven and the water bath.

  7. Step 7

    Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.

    Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to a skillet and heat until the sugar turns golden.

  2. Step 2
