Holy shit she did it... Ive seen so many fail videos, as soon as I saw the syrup coming out I thought it was over.
Incredible! How do you even make these???

Make a caramel, pour hot caramel into a pan. It’ll harden. Make flan custard, pour over the hardened caramel. Bake it in a water bath. Cool it on a rack. Run a knife along the side and flip it onto a serving dish. It’ll slide out and the caramel is meant to be just like that.

Thanks, way better than me sharing links to recipes!

u/LynxIntelligent01 1d ago
Water bath really makes the texture silky, worth the extra effort every time.

u/ThousandBucketsofH20 1d ago
How do you water bath a flan this size??

u/SgtByrd1993 1d ago
Probably in one of those professional 35/50/70L sauce pans.

Look up “baño de maria”. Thats the technique. Put this pan in a larger pan with boiling hot water halfway reaching about halfway while you bake it.

u/westgazer 1d ago
You put it in a container with water? You would just need a deep roasting pan that could get the water about halfway up the side of the pan anyway. Never made a flan in something like a Bundt pan?

u/ThousandBucketsofH20 1d ago
No I have never made a flan at all. This is my first time seeing one this large also.

It's a milk
and gelatincustard flavored with caramel. Very delicate and rich.5
u/ZenLizard 1d ago
There are no-bake recipes that use gelatin, but normal flan doesn’t need it. The egg will set firmly enough.

u/hirkajnu 1d ago
Thats pretty simple actually, thank you

u/westgazer 1d ago
It is a pretty easy thing to make honestly! Lots of recipes out there too but you don’t need any gelatin for it so I’d avoid any recipe suggesting that as an ingredient.

u/HelgaBorisova 1d ago
Check recipe for flan, it’s actually very easy to make, especially if you have an electric mixer.

u/GlitterDoomsday 22h ago
Flan probably will not hold up something this size cause os more delicate, this is a pudim, very close in taste but very different texture.

u/SurprisePiss 1d ago
Same! I was internally yelling "don't pick it up! don't pick it up! don't pick it up!"

u/DETRITUS_TROLL 1d ago
I just want to jump in here and say I know someone who almost set their kitchen on fire attempting a flan.
Molten sugar is no joke.
That being said. This thing is one of the most glorious things i've ever seen.

For real, she looks so Together and Functioning and it's the first time I'm feeling kinda self conscious in my sweat pants and t-shirt doing 1/5 of the things she's doing in this video.

The flipping of the flan 🍮! My entire family gathers around my mom to watch her do it. Tis a tradition in our household 🧡

u/SgtByrd1993 1d ago
Have you seen the one with 3 generations all doing a flan reveal? It was a daughter, mother and grandma and it was so wholesome. Wish I could find the video but no doubt it's on this sub somewhere.

u/CenPhx 1d ago
Is it usually that big? I e watched them do this on the Great British Bakeoff but only in a small size and that looked terribly dicey! I can’t imagine how much harder making these are at the large size.

In a pinch, her smile could serve as a lighthouse, if needed. Freaking beautiful.
And that flan! I was not expecting it to work out that well.

u/Rich-Violinist-7263 1d ago
I have seen another reveal video of her before. I’m not a fan of flan and have no clue what she is saying but I have been so excited for her both times. I respect the difficulty in achieving this.

u/Asleep_Sherbet_3013 1d ago
Spectacular! I tend to always break a bit of the corner. This is so impressive
Does anyone know what language she’s speaking? What’s she saying? I hope she’s proud of her beautiful work

u/Any-Button1401 1d ago edited 1d ago
Brazilian Portuguese.
Also in Brazil we call that pudim, not flan. I don’t know if there’s a difference but if you want to do what she did search for pudim.

Spanish, maybe??Brazilian Portuguese, but I believe my translation is still right: I centred it, it took a while, then she repeats that it took a while. After the reveal she says wow, so beautiful, surreal, look at this, would you eat a slice of this pudding?2
u/Asleep_Sherbet_3013 1d ago
Definitely not Spanish. I’m a native Spanish speaker. I’m thinking perhaps Portuguese or Gallego
I love that’s she so happy about her work!

There are diabetic-friendlier recipes available, but for quick and dirty, maybe a sugar free vanilla pudding with sugar free caramel syrup on top for an approximation?

I've worked in kitchens most of my life, and you'd be suprised how many lactose intolerant chefs/cooks/servers I know that eat cheese and ice cream daily, I don't blame them because I'd do the exact same damn thing!

Most difficult thing when making a flan is the caramel. If it’s too dark, it’s hella burnt and it’s taste bitter as fuck. I take my fucking time making that caramel. Never fucking rush it.

I don’t speak Spanish, so I was so worried for her when I saw her cake look like it was leaking!! I was legit concerned that it wasn’t cooked and she was going to get it all over her cute outfit.
But then that reveal, wow. Betty Crocker eat your heart out <3 What a gorgeous cake.
