Dulce de Leche Microwave Flan

Can you believe this? Using your microwave to bake desserts. The actual custard you see above took only 2 minutes in there. That’s it. No magic tricks, no special tools required. Simply, Dulce de Leche Microwave Flan.

As many of you know, I am a HUGE fan of dulce de leche. I grew up with this delicious spread, and try to add it on top of everything. Even toast in the morning.

Even though flan originates from Creme Caramel in France, it is widely eaten in Latin America. I love the creaminess, versatileness, and ease of making it. It is also Gluten Free so a wider audience can enjoy it.

You can make this dessert into individual servings like I did, or you can make a big cake. Just make sure you use a microwave-safe mold. Glass and ceramic work well. I found my custard cups in the supermarket.

On the down side, flans needs to cool for a while in the fridge before devouring. I know that waiting sucks but the 2 minute in the microwave makes all the difference, right?

La Lechera is celebrating #DulcedeLeche day during the Hispanic Heritage Month and when it comes to celebrating something sweet and delicious, I’m in. These cans have been around for a long time and they will always be a staple in my pantry.

I hope you can try this delicious Dulce de Leche Microwave Flan at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.

Author: Tiffany Bendayan

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 can Dulce de Leche
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon water
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

To Make Caramel

  • In a heavy sauce over medium heat pour the sugar and water
  • Let the sugar boil until caramel forms, stir occasionally
  • Pour the caramel into a 9" cake mold, bundt pan mold or custard cups and let it cool for 5 minutes

To Make Flan

  • In a blender combine the dulce de leche, vanilla, evaporated milk and eggs
  • Strain this mixture into a bowl
  • Pour the flan mixture on top of the caramel
  • Microwave EACH custard cup at 50% power for 2 minutes. If you're doing a whole cake pan, microwave at 50% power for 8-9 minutes. If you decide to microwave the 2-3 cups at a time just increase by 1-2 minutes
  • Mixture should be a bit wet when taken out of the microwave
  • Cool for about 1-2 hours in the fridge (for large cake cool overnight)
  • Unmold by running a knife from the edges of the flan then turn onto a plate
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Times in the microwave may vary. Flan should look firm, wet on top and a bit jiggly in the center.

    This looks dangerously delicious. I have a couple of questions though:

    “6. In a blender combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk and eggs”

    Condensed milk is not on the ingredients list. Do you mean combine the Dulce de Leche, evaporated milk and eggs?

    And where does the vamilla come in? In step 6 as well?

    Thanks.

    What size can of the evaporated milk do you use? The small 5 oz. can or the 12 oz. larger size one?

    Found this recipe online (https://gypsyrhapsody.wordpress.com/2010/06/15/dulce-de-leche-and-caramel-a-comparative-analysis/) thought people may want to make their own caramel sauce.
    To make dulce de leche (the easy, foolproof way) you will need:

    1 can of sweetened condensed milk
    water

    Place the can of sweetened condensed milk, unopened, in a pot. Add water to cover can halfway. Let boil on medium heat for about 3 hours, checking constantly and adding more water to the pot when needed.
