This Brazilian Flan recipe with condensed milk, also known as pudim de leite condensado in Portuguese, is creamy, sweet, and utterly delicious. A stunning and fun jiggly dessert with a decadent caramel sauce, great for special occasions like holidays or just because. This make-ahead dessert may look fancy but is actually quite easy to make!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Custard

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2x 14oz cans of sweetened condensed milk

For the Caramel

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Make the Custard: Add all custard ingredients (eggs, milk, and sweetened condensed milk) to a blender and pulse a few times to combine. Set aside.
  2. Make the Caramelized Sugar Sauce: In a kettle or medium pan, bring approximately 2.5-3 quarts of water to a boil for the hot water bath. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium to high heat. Bring it to a simmer and let it simmer until it turns an amber color, approximately 13 minutes. Be sure to watch the pan at all times to avoid burning the sugar, and never stir it. When the sugar is an amber color, carefully pour it into the bundt pan. Coat the inside of the pan with the caramel by swirling it gently up the sides and center of the pan. The sugar will be super hot, so be extra careful!
  3. Place the bundt pan in a large roasting pan. Then, pour the custard on top of the caramel. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until the water is approximately halfway up the sides of the bundt pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove the cooked flan from the oven. Please note that the flan will still jiggle a little at the center. It will firm up as it cools.
  4. Let the cooked flan sit in the water bath outside of the oven for another hour or so, until the pan is cool to the touch. After that hour, loosen the flan from the sides of the pan by running a paring knife around the inside and outside rims. Then place plastic wrap over the flan and refrigerate in the pan for at least 4 hours – preferably overnight.
  5. Unmold and transfer to a plate, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • If the flan doesn’t come out of the pan easily, re-warm the pan by placing it over a stove burner for a few minutes just to re-warm the caramel inside of the pan and try again.
