Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (for topping)
• Whipped cream (for serving)

How to Make Caramel Flan with Crumble Topping

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by placing it in a larger baking dish to create a water bath.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns a golden caramel color. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of the prepared cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Pour this mixture over the hardened caramel in the cake pan.
4. In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly. Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the flan mixture in the pan.
5. Carefully add hot water to the outer baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan. This will help cook the flan gently.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool in the water bath for about 15 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan, invert onto a serving platter, and top with fresh raspberries and whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure you don’t overcook the caramel; it can burn quickly. Remove from heat as soon as it reaches a golden color.
• Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating to help it set properly.
• For a more intense flavor, add a splash of rum or coconut extract to the flan mixture.

Easy Variations

• Swap out raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or even a mix of your favorite berries.
• Add a splash of orange zest to the flan mixture for a citrusy twist.
• Incorporate chocolate chips or nuts into the crumble topping for added flavor and texture.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added decadence.
