Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14-oz)
  • 1 ¼ cup whole milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 7-inch round pan and a large baking dish. Set them aside.
  • Place a skillet over medium heat. Add sugar, stirring constantly until it completely melts and turns into syrup.
  • Remove from heat, and pour the syrup into a 7-inch round pan. Spread the syrup evenly to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Set it aside and let it cool down and harden.
  • Whisk together eggs, condensed milk, whole milk and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the mixture into the syrup-coated pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Place the pan in a large baking dish. Then pour water into the dish. You need enough water to reach halfway up the pan.
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove the dish from the oven, and lift the pan out of the baking dish. Then remove the aluminum foil. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, cover with another piece of aluminum foil. Place in the fridge for 4-6 hours.
  • When you’re ready to serve, remove the foil. Slide a knife along the edges of the pan.
  • Then place a plate on top of the round pan. Carefully flip it. Then lift the pan. Serve and enjoy!
