Condensed Milk Flan

Surely the condensed milk flan is one of the most popular traditional flans. If you haven't made it at home yet you should know you've probably tasted it, because with its vanilla flavor and how easy it is to make, it's often the homemade flan recipe served in many restaurants.

How to identify condensed milk flan? Because it's an egg flan, dense, a fairly whitish color, silky smooth in texture and it is often accompanied by a hint of vanilla that adds an aroma that goes very well with the taste of the condensed milk.

On this occasion we make the flan in the Multidelices yogurt maker. In fact, it's an ideal recipe to make in a yogurt maker: if making this flan couldn't be simpler, being able to steam it with the yogurt maker, without a bain-marie or turning on the oven, is certainly a great convenience.

Among the ingredients you'll see there's no sugar, because all the sweetness is more than provided by the condensed milk, and it doesn't need more. I hope you like it, and be careful with the condensed milk: remember it's treacherous, and if while you're preparing the recipe you can't resist the temptation to have a spoonful, you'll probably eat half the can.

Ingredients (for the 6 jars of the Multidelices)

• 200nl condensed milk
• 500 ml whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• 6 eggs
• Liquid caramel

• Candied orange and a little condensed milk
• Cinnamon
• Strawberry or cherry coulis

Tefal Multidelices yogurt maker

Preparation

1. Fill the bottom of the Multidelices yogurt maker jars with liquid caramel.
2. In a large bowl or in the KitchenAid bowl (with the balloon whisk attachment fitted), mix all the ingredients to make the flan.
3. Pour the mixture into the jars.
4. Fill the yogurt maker water level and place the rack with the filled jars. Turn on the yogurt maker with program 4 (everyday desserts) and increase to 50 minutes. Turn it on and wait for the program to finish.
5. When the program ends, you'll see the flans are already done. Let them cool and put them in the fridge until the next day.

Notes

• When serving, you can bring them to the table and serve the flan as is in the jars, or you can present them on a plate (use a thin knife to separate the flan from the glass before inverting them onto the plate) and accompany them with a little condensed milk and candied orange (the citrusy, sharper note contrasts very well with the flan's sweetness) or with a strawberry or cherry coulis.
• If you don't have a yogurt maker, the same recipe can be made in ramekins, individual flan molds or in a large flan mold.Here you will find many options.
• The Multidelices yogurt maker comes with 6 glass jars. But once you start making yogurts, flans, custards, cheese and all kinds of desserts with it, you won't want to wait to finish what's in the fridge to make more. That's why it's very practical to have an extra set of jars for the yogurt maker, which you can find here, and you'll be able to make a large number of desserts without waiting to have all the first jars ready for more recipes.
