Sous Vide Caramel Flan

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sous Vide Caramel Flan.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious sous vide flan, grab a large heat-proof container and fill it with water.

2. Step 2

   Place your sous vide cooker inside and preheat the water bath to a cozy 179°F (82°C).

3. Step 3

   While the water warms up, let’s create that irresistible caramel layer.

4. Step 4

   In a small saucepan, melt some sugar over medium heat, stirring gently until it transforms into a beautiful deep amber color—this should take about five minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s ready, carefully pour the hot melted sugar into the bottom of each of your eight 4-ounce Mason jars, making sure to create an even layer.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s whip up the creamy flan mixture! In a mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract.

7. Step 7

   Whisk everything together until it’s smooth and well blended, creating a luscious mixture that will complement the caramel perfectly.

8. Step 8

   Next, pour this delightful milk mixture into the jars over the hardened sugar, filling each jar almost to the brim.

9. Step 9

   Don’t forget to seal the jars tightly with their lids to keep all that goodness inside.

10. Step 10

    It’s time for the magic to happen! Submerge the jars in the preheated water bath and set a timer for one hour.

11. Step 11

    Once the hour is up, carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool for about 20 minutes—this will make them safe to handle.

12. Step 12

    When they’re cool enough, unseal the jars and take a small rubber spatula to gently run around the edges of the flan, loosening it from the sides.

13. Step 13

    Now comes the fun part! Place a plate on top of each jar, invert it, and give it a gentle shake to release the flan onto the plate.

14. Step 14

    Voilà! You’ve created a stunning dessert that’s sure to impress.

15. Step 15

    Enjoy every creamy, caramelized bite!.
