This Dulce de Leche Flan is a wonderful dessert. Creamy, sweet and easy to make this flan de arequipe is perfect to end any meal.
Flan de Arequipe (Dulce de Leche Flan)
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 5 Whole eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 13 oz arequipe or dulce de leche
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To prepare the caramel, put 1 cup of sugar in a small pot with ½ cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir once and reduce the heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes or until the syrup turns a caramel color.
- Immediately pour an equal amount of the caramel into each ramekin or any oven proof mold you want to use. Swirl each dish to coat the base with the caramel, work fast as the caramel will harden quickly as it cools. Place all the ramekins in a large roasting pan and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer. Mix the eggs, egg yolks and 1 ½ tablespoon sugar for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the arequipe or dulce de leche, heavy cream, whole milk and vanilla extract and mix for 1 more minute.
- Carefully pour an equal amount of the flan mixture into the caramelized ramekins in the roasting pan. Then add hot water to the roasting pan, not to the ramekins, until the water comes half way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center of the flan comes out clean.
- Remove from the roasting pan and cool for at least 30 minutes. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- To serve, carefully run a knife around the edge of the ramekin, cover with a serving plate, flip it over and gently remove the ramekin allowing the caramel run over the sides.

You know how much I love arequipe or dulce de leche and flan. So, here I combined my two favorite desserts! I made this flan when my sister was visiting and we loved it. Simple, easy and delicious!
I can't wait to make this Dulce de leche Flan again.
Buen provecho!

Flan is the universal symbol of delicious! I must be careful to make this only when I have several other guests to share it; otherwise, I will probably eat it all myself. 😎

There is never a time when I visit your site and not like what you have posted! How can anyone turn down a flan like this? Not me!
