Flan is a dessert that’s always a hit at family gatherings and parties, and it’s a personal favorite of mine.

This custard dessert has a sweet, milky taste and a smooth, gelatin-like texture. It’s made with milk, eggs, and plenty of sugar.

Flan is especially popular in places with Spanish, Hispanic, and Latino influences, and you’ll often find it in Filipino cuisine. Its smooth and creamy texture is truly satisfying.

And guess what? You don’t need an oven to make it! This easy No-Steam No-Bake Flan recipe is just as delicious and doesn’t require any oven time. Enjoy!

TO MAKE THIS NO-STEAM NO-BAKE FLAN, YOU WILL NEED:

Large Eggs: Choose fresh, large eggs for a creamy and rich flan.

Condensed Milk: Select a good-quality condensed milk for sweetness and creaminess. Popular brands are often reliable.

Evaporated Milk: Opt for a reputable brand of evaporated milk for a creamy and slightly caramelized flavor.

Vanilla Extract: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. Avoid imitation extracts.

Clear Jelly Powder: Choose a clear jelly powder from a trusted brand. Ensure it’s unflavored and suitable for making the jelly layer.

HOW DO YOU MAKE NO-STEAM NO-BAKE FLAN?

To create this delightful No-Steam No-Bake Flan, start by adding 1 teaspoon of sugar to each mold and caramelize it. In a separate bowl, combine all the flan mixture ingredients, ensuring a smooth and well-mixed texture.

Next, in a pan, mix clear jelly powder, cornstarch, and water until fully combined. Cook this mixture over low-medium heat until it boils, then add the flan mixture and continue stirring until fully combined.

Once everything is ready, pour the mixture into your chosen mold, whether it’s small, medium, or large. Refrigerate it overnight to allow the flavors to meld and set.

If you like, you can sprinkle grated cheese on top as an optional and tasty topping. Enjoy your delicious No-Steam No-Bake Flan!

RECIPE NOTES AND HELPFUL TIPS:

Use a Blender: To ensure a smooth and well-mixed flan mixture, use a blender to combine the eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. This will help achieve a silky texture.

Strain the Mixture: After blending, strain the flan mixture to remove any lumps or air bubbles. This step contributes to a smoother final texture.

Prepare Clear Jelly Carefully: When making the jelly mixture, follow the instructions on the clear jelly powder package precisely. Be sure to dissolve it completely in water and cool it before adding it to the flan.

Chill Thoroughly: After assembling the flan, make sure to chill it for several hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
