Flan 

I like the boldness on the simplicity of the title. J U S T Flan, mic drop.

I ate the last piece of flan that my wife and I have been fighting over I won the *custardy battle.*

I am a chef at an assisted living facility, and I've already made for them your tiramisu and I made the churro's tonight and these folks have been loving the desserts. It's extra special because it gives them something to look forward to, and somehow your instruction is so easy to execute. Thank you.

0:36 medium high 3/4 cup (150 gr) sugar + 1/4 cup (60 mL) water 1:47 pour caramel into pan, it is quít hot about 300 F 2:33 cream 8oz cream cheese 3:00 add 6 eggs until nice smooth 4:25 add 1 can evaporated milk + 1 can sweetned condensed milk + 1 TBSP vanilla extract 5:23 pour liquid eggs onto caramel 5:55 - 6:14 pour some boiling water into pan bake in preheated oven 325 F for 45 - 55 minutes

I’m pretty new to baking and this recipe was amazing. One small thing that did cause me to waste though was the fact that creating the caramel requires you to not use a non stick pan. I didn’t know that , and I tried twice before switching to stainless steel and fixing my mistake. Just a heads up for anyone who was wondering why their caramel was crystallizing before it browned

Hello from Puerto Rico! My grandma makes flan and uses pretty much the same ingredients but adds 1/2 cup of sugar and puts everything in the blender. She's also never used the oven, it's always done in the stove. My grandma loves to watch you cook and we like to sit down, watch your videos and take notes. Thank you for your recipes!

John, that looks so good and easy to make 😋. It's on my list of desserts to make

Such an easy recipe and it's so good. My go to flan recipe. I'm getting better and better at baking desserts and I've learned most of it from this channel. Even pre-ordered the cookbook as a way of support, even when I could easily just watch the videos. Started out several years ago because I wanted cheesecake and figured I could make it myself. Now, I bake a ton of desserts. Just wanted to thank you for the easy step by step directions as I prepare this recipe for tomorrow's Super Bowl game. Got my go to cheesecake done and now it's the cheese flan followed by the Hawaiian butter mochi cake.

I know this will be the best flan recipe ever. You always come through with the best 🔥

I just made this Flan. Sooooo Uber delicious and I love how easy it was! The cream cheese makes it so luxurious. Omg took me back to my childhood, bc my mama used to make flan all the time. Thanks for such a fantastic and easy recipe!!

i love how he tells that he adds sweetened condensed milk to his coffee in the morning in every recipe he uses it in 🥺 he's so adorable

I make the Puerto Rican version that includes coconut milk and its delicious! Love Flan! It's amazing that there are so many countries that have their variation of it. Flan unites us ❤😊

One of my favorite desserts. So simple yet so rich in texture and taste.

Every time I want to make flan I just come back to this video bc the title being "Flan" is SO satisfying, it's like they do on recipe books, none of that adjective-overloaded yt shenanigans. Thanks you for everything John💕

I made this a few days ago. It came out absolutely, flawlessly smooth. The smoothest flan I have ever made and baking time is only 50 mins. My normal flan recipe doesn’t have cream cheese but this one does and my husband really enjoyed the addition.

I love how he keeps the bloopers, making the video much more relatable.

I have made this three times for my family. It is so delicious, they can’t get enough! Thank you for another great recipe !

In Colombia when my family (or myself) make this, we just put all the ingredients at once in a blender and we add a tiny bit of dulce De leche extract and whole milk (equal quantity as the sweet and condensed milk) instead of the cream cheese.

I love when you leave the bloopers! It makes it very relatable. Great video!

I love ALL of your videos and absolutely love that you're always smiling and always seem so down to earth!! You are such inspiration to me as someone who enjoys cooking so much😊😊

You just made me laugh when you dropped the can in the bowl. Thanks so much for sharing. 🤣😂😅

I made it yesterday and it turned out really good thank you for the great recipe

Every time I watch your videos, I am smiling! Thank you for your recipes and for your amazing energy!

Omg I’m in love with this dish, I tried and tested this recipe myself. It came out so smooth, soft, and made you feel warm inside. Well done!

In Puerto Rico, we do add cream cheese to our flan! A blender is often used as well. Great video, John, love all your recipes.❤️

Flan. I miss this. I had it when I was in Spain, and I've been looking for the perfect recipe. This is the perfect recipe.

I’ve already made like 3 of your desserts and they taste so amazing!

I just made this and was so worried it wasn't going to turn out good, but it came out perfect. Thank you for this recipe. ❤️

Everyone’s first until they refresh😩

Now you have to make a rice pudding that your dad would love!!! ARROZ CON LECHE Cuban Style please.

I love flan (crème caramel in my house) as well, and have made it often. I have never thought to enrich it with cream cheese; thank you for the inspiration. Edit: I love all the versions of custard; being Southern, the most frequent form is custard pie.

I made this for a party yesterday, and as with all of your recipes, it was easy and delicious! Thanks John!

I love how he shows the mistakes and beautiful little disasters that happen during cooking❤keep up the good work. I have always enjoued your show and skills 😊

Interesting! I've never hear of cream cheese in a flan, sound so yum though! Awesome video John!

I made this for my family this past weekend. It was a magnificent flan! My Hispanic family could not stop raving about it.

"Nothing happened!" 🤣🤣 you're so funny and cute!

Hi, John! Here in Brazil we have a very similar dessert its called PUDIM. We do it only with sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and eggs :) Thank you for your amazing job

That flan is a masterpiece!

I can't thank you enough for all your recipes you made it so easy to me to head to the kitchen and start planning for the night dessert .

Omg I commented a week or two ago asking for a video on it and didn’t expect one so soon, thank you!

OMG your flan looks beautiful and sooo good! I love flan too but haven’t tried it with cream cheese before. Since I have 1 cream cheese in my fridge, I will give it a try. Thanks John! 😄

This was perfect! Thank you so much.

I love flan and haven't made it in quite a while. I've never heard of cream cheese added to one, but am definitely going to try this. Thank you for all of the wonderful recipes. You also have a gift for teaching us and walking us though the recipe. Thank you.

Perfect recipe, thorough, & detailed. I love it. Flan came out phenomenal! ♡

If anyone is thinking of trying this, do it. This flan is so good. Smooth and creamy and just sweet enough. It was decadent and even my boyfriend that hates flan loved this one! I will say not to start it at night unless you like being up until 3 AM 😂 I didn’t have a baking dish/roast pan large enough to fit my cake pan into so I separated the mix into some smaller casserole dishes and it was still perfect! I was so worried I had put too much air in it and that it would be full of holes but nope! I did tap it on the counter a LOT though Definitely the best flan I’ve ever had, and even more so the best flan I’ve ever made! Also a bonus is that it uses the whole egg so I didn’t have to figure out what to do with a bunch of egg whites

This looks amazing! Would you ever do a salted caramel pretzel cookie recipe?? 😍😍 love your videos !!

It is amazing how this dessert has a lot of variations, like some recipes call for egg yolks only, no cream cheese, etc. This is such a versatile dessert, very easy to make (except for the caramel which requires attention). Yummy!!! Thank you for sharing! ♥️ From the Philippines

you are so accomplished as a chef, and you totally crack me up

I really love this flan, it’s always a hit whenever I make it. I think the only tricky part for some would be the caramel, a part from that, it’s the easiest desert to make and probably the fastest one to be eaten! I actually just put all of the ingredients in the blender, if it’s lumpy I strain it.

I made this for my husband’s mom as a birthday treat and she loved it. I substituted coconut evaporated milk to give it an extra flavor note and it was delicious. Had to cook it for over an hour but I think that’s just an issue with my oven. Still, it’s a good idea to check on it so it’s not too jiggly when it comes out. Paired well with fresh raspberries. Oh, the best tip: DEFINITELY strain the mixture as you pour it into the pan - I was shocked how many lumps there were! Thank you!

Thank you for all the recipes you share with us. ❤️ love your videos

Made this recipe a couple of days ago. The result was amazing as always. I just opted for a vanilla bean pod instead of the extract. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us!

You should try a 2 layer tres leches cake with a flan layer in the middle of the 2 cake layers! SO BOMB! 😩😩

Oh John you're so funny, you don't know how many times I've drop things into my baked goods but I wasn't being taped. Lol

It looks delicious and you make it seem so easy to make. Plus, your tea service set is beautiful. I’ve always loved flan but have never made it. I just might attempt it now. 😊 Thank you!

Love watching your videos! This is exactly how I make my flan. Would like to add that it's very important to take it out of the oven while it's still a little jiggly in the center, or else it will overcook, the texture changes, it's not as creamy. And the flan comes out with a lot of little holes on the edges, classic tale of an overcooked custard. Thanks John!

Love your videos! ❤️My mom makes flan for special occasions too! Haha idk how many times I drop or goof something up in the kitchen. So relatable!

Hey ! In France, we also call this dessert "crème renversée". Yours looks like paradise. 😍 Claudia

John I love that you are so imperfectly perfect! Thanks for the bloopers !

Flan used to be my father's favorite dessert, brings back a lot of good memories. Thank you for this recipe John, definitely gonna try it. I must say, I've tried a few of your recipes and they turned out perfect. Am sure this will too! 😊

The only thing i will never understand is why would someone dislike his videos 😩 I’m totally in love with his recipes and his way of explaining and everything !

It looks delicioso! I am from México and It is one of my favorite dessert!

I've never heard of flan It looks very appealing. I am going to try this weekend.love you John for making things easier to cook .

I actually made this by your directions and followed your ingredients for my moms bday on valentine's day and it was awesome

My mouth is watering at 1 30 in the morning 🤤 You never fail to impress me John Love from India ❤️

Whenever I hear/see Flan, I can't help but think of the line from "Friends" when Monica made a birthday flan for Rachel. Joey said "Happy Birthday, Rachel! Here's some GOO!" I have to agree!

Perfect timing, I’ve been craving flan. I will definitely give this recipe a try. Thank you! 🙂

Omg! I just made this! And so delicious!!! Thank you for showing this wonderful flan recipe!!❤❤❤

This looks so delicious! Caramel is one of my favorite things to "binge" eat :) Lol

I love how he always says he likes to put his sweetened condensed milk in his coffee ☕

Both my children requested flan as their birthday cakes. Just made this and a cheesecake for my son’s 15th birthday yesterday. Delicious. You are my go to for dessert recipes!

I’m Cuban and this is almost exactly how I make mine. Flan is a Cuban national treasure. Lol I blend all my ingredients in a blender, and bake at 350 for about 55 mins. I might cut my time down a little next time. Thank you for keeping the recipe authentic!

I love that you made a recipe for this! This is my mom's signature dessert that she makes for every birthday and holiday. We call it quesillo instead of flan but it's the same; also, my mom usually blends everything inside a blender to make the custard and has found that to be quick and have the same effect. Lots of love from los Venezolanos

I’m gonna go out and get some of those strainers. I Iike the idea of straining things like you do so the texture is even in desserts.

This looks amazing as always your recipes are the best 😍❤️

Just made this recipe for my mom, she loved it! Very rich and the caramel is a nice balance!

The shortest title for a youtube video I've seen in a long time!

John, I love your recipes, and I admire your brave effort to offer them to everyone. The family I cook for raved over this flan and requested another, despite a substitution I made: I used Neufchatel rather than cream cheese. It pushed the taste and richness over the top, but it made the texture a tad "curdy." I don't recommend that substitution. 🙄😀

Wonderful recipe. My family loved it!

Thank you for the caramel tip 😭 I tried 3 times and the sugar crystallized each time. Tried your method and it worked flawlessly! Definitely try using a heavier bottomed pan also.

bro that looks so good im probably gonna make this when im still up in the middle of the night

The fact that he replies to almost everyone’s comment is amazing with that many fans 😆

Thank you for this recipe.I just made half batch of this earlier and it came out perfect.♥️First time to include cream cheese on a flan since I’m used to eating and making without it and just with condensed milk,egg yolks and evaporated milk/whole milk.I say this is creamier and yes,it’s more tasty than the usual flan.

Just made it, and my family absolutely loved it! Thank you

Im always skeptical about a non native giving a recipe from a traditional dessert other than his country, but you Mr. John always impress me with your recipes, you made it gracefully, as a mexican women and in love of my traditional dishes, i thank you enormously🙏 I trust your recipes so much, and now i know each one of them is made following the traditional or original ingredients, ofcourse, all with your on point touch👌 Love your channel and your personality. Sending you love from Pomona, Caifornia.😍

Hello! I am from Leon, Guanajuato Mexico. However, I live in Nebraska now! GO HUSKERS! LOL! We love adding liquor to deserts. I added some liquor and some pure organic vanilla extract (which contains alcohol as an ingredient I noticed) to your recipe, and it was delicious!! I called it "Flan Envinado!" It was a hit with my family members!

Omg i Love Flan! Very good, thanks for sharing your recipe!

Thank you so much for this recipe. I tried it - its a flan that is easy to make and yet amazing . Best flan I ever ate

Not me watching his videos 15 times to support him as much as I can🥺

Me: Usually follows recipes, EXACTLY as I see them made. Also Me: Plop can into bowl, then remove and pour. *Lol, I love that you leave your bloopers in.

So good 👍 I made this Flan yesterday evening and it came out great and delicious. Thanks for the recipe John. I'll be making it again!

I am such a fan. Thank you John.

I become very happy when he says “nice vanilla”

OMG John this flan is HEAVENLY!!! I can't believe how good it is!! Thank you for the recipe!!

You are such a great teacher.

Added to my to my dessert list! Definitely will be on my thanksgiving dinner table!

here in the philippines, we call it leche flan. it's one of my favorite desserts and what we do is that we just steam it with boiling water.

Who else remembered Monica's flan in Rachel's birthday party 😂😂😂😂😂😂🖐

I love your channel. You make baking so easier.

This looks delicious. I haven’t tried it with cream cheese, but I will. You really don’t need a mixer, I always use my blender and it comes out sooooo smooth, no lumps.
