Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 milliliters Water
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 250 milliliters Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Stop stirring and let the mixture boil until it turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning.
Carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of an 8-inch round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
Peel the bananas and mash them into a smooth puree using a fork or food processor.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the banana custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a water bath.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan with the flan to the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a serving plate upside down over the baking dish and flip to release the flan onto the plate. The caramel will flow over the top as a sauce.
Slice and enjoy your delicious banana flan!
