Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Stevia granules
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 10 large Egg yolks
• 2 large Whole eggs
• 2 cups Evaporated milk
• 1 can (about 12 oz) Sugar-free condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine the Stevia granules and water. Cook over medium heat while stirring until the mixture thickens and turns a golden brown caramel color. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully pour the caramelized Stevia into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to harden slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and whole eggs until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the evaporated milk, sugar-free condensed milk, vanilla extract, and optional lemon zest to the eggs. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Strain the custard mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the prepared baking dish with hardened caramel. This step ensures a silky texture by removing any egg solids.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent the custard from browning.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a bain-marie or water bath.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake the flan in the water bath for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center of the flan is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow the flan to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to fully set the custard.

Step 12

To serve, run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Invert a serving plate over the dish and flip to release the flan onto the plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your sugar-free classic Leche Flan!
