Ingredients

• 6 units Egg yolks
• 1 cup Low-fat evaporated milk
• 1 cup Low-fat condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small pan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and allow it to boil gently until a deep golden caramel forms. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Immediately pour the caramel into a round 8-inch baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, low-fat evaporated milk, low-fat condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture through a fine sieve into the caramel-coated baking dish to ensure a smooth texture by eliminating any lumps or foam.

Step 6

Prepare a water bath by placing the baking dish in a larger baking pan and adding hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the dish.

Step 7

Carefully place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken.

Step 8

Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool in the water bath for about 20 minutes to room temperature.

Step 9

Cover the flan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully chill and firm up.

Step 10

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert it onto a serving platter, allowing the caramel sauce to drizzle over the top.

Step 11

Cut the flan into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy your low-fat classic leche flan!
