The flan de dulce de leche offers a unique gustatory experience that will delight even the most discerning palates. Its texture is smooth, silky, and incredibly creamy, achieved through the perfectly balanced blend of condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and, of course, dulce de leche.

Not only does flan de dulce de leche taste amazing, it also looks visually appealing. The golden caramel layer on top adds an elegant touch and contrasting colors, making it an enticing and mouthwatering dessert.

Here’s a delicious recipe to make your own flan de dulce de leche:

Ingredients:

• 1 can of condensed milk (397g)
• 1 can of evaporated milk (354ml)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 200g of dulce de leche
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of water

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place a large baking tray inside the oven and fill it with hot water, reaching approximately halfway up the height of the flan molds.
2. In a small pot, prepare the caramel by combining the sugar and water. Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and starts to turn golden.
3. Once it reaches a dark golden color, remove it from the heat and quickly pour it into individual flan molds, covering the bottom of each mold with the caramel. Be careful as the caramel will be very hot.
4. In a large bowl, mix the condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth. Add the dulce de leche to the mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
5. Pour the flan mixture over the caramel in the prepared molds. Cover each mold with aluminum foil and place them in the baking tray with hot water.
6. Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is firm around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Remove the molds from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, so the flan cools and sets to the right consistency.
8. To serve, run a knife along the edge of each mold to loosen the flan, then flip it onto individual plates.

Indulge in this delicious homemade flan de dulce de leche with its rich caramel flavor and creamy texture. It’s the perfect dessert for satisfying your sweet tooth and impressing your guests. Enjoy!

Bonus Recipe: Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak

There’s nothing quite like the savory aroma of a home-cooked meal wafting through your kitchen, especially when it involves classic comfort food. In this easy-to-follow recipe, we’ll guide you through the steps of creating mouthwatering Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak. Gather your ingredients, and let’s embark on a culinary journey that promises both simplicity and deliciousness.

Ingredients:

For the Patties:

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

For the Gravy:

• 6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1 package brown gravy mix
• 1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:

1. Begin by mixing all the patty ingredients together and forming small patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
2. Create a cozy bed of sliced onions and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
3. In a skillet, brown the steak patties on both sides. For an extra burst of flavor, we recommend this step, although you can place the raw patties directly into the slow cooker if you’re pressed for time.
4. Place the browned patties on top of the onions and mushrooms in the slow cooker.
5. Mix all the remaining ingredients (except cornstarch) to create a delectable sauce, then pour it over the meat and vegetables. Cover and let it simmer on low for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
6. After 5 hours, remove the patties. Turn the slow cooker to high, whisk in the cornstarch, and let the magic happen as the sauce thickens.
7. Return the patties to the slow cooker, allowing them to soak up the rich sauce before serving.
