How to make Homemade Orange Flan with Condensed Milk
Prepare the flan mixture
- Step 1
In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, whole milk, condensed milk, orange juice, and orange zest. Blend until all the ingredients are fully integrated.
Make the caramel
- Step 1
In a saucepan or directly in the mold you’ll use for the flan, add the sugar and heat over low heat until it melts and turns into a light-colored caramel.
- Step 2
Swirl the caramel around to coat the base and sides of the mold or flan dish evenly. Let it cool.
Assemble the flan
- Step 1
Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated mold or divide it into individual molds.
Cook the flan
- Step 1
Place the mold(s) in a water bath (bain-marie) and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the flan
- Step 1
Remove the flan from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours.
Unmold the flan
- Step 1
To unmold easily, briefly heat the base of the mold over a stovetop burner to loosen the caramel. This will help the flan release perfectly.
