Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar (for caramel)
- 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 120 milliliters orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1000 milliliters water (for water bath)
Instructions
Prepare the caramel: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Allow it to melt slowly, stirring occasionally, until it turns a deep amber color. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Carefully pour the caramel into a 20 cm (8-inch) round flan mold or bundt pan, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-coated flan mold, using a spoon to break any visible air bubbles if necessary.
Place the flan mold into a larger baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold, creating a water bath.
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the flan mold from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
To serve, run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a serving plate with raised edges over the mold and carefully invert the flan onto the plate. Be sure to catch the caramel sauce as it flows over the flan.
Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your Pudim De Laranja!
