They asked me for more easy recipes from my mom's recipe box, happy to deliver a delicious yogurt flan to you; you can do it in the oven or the microwave.

This yogurt flan is creamy in the center, a little firmer on the edges, and porous on the edges. It is not a classic flan; creamy all the way.

As you can see, it is not a super cute dessert. In my family, fruit was not a dessert, so my grandmother and aunts had a repertoire of simple sweets to make in a baking dish and served by spoonfuls in small portions. More elaborate desserts like cakes, charlottes, and pies were reserved for the weekend family reunions. I do miss having a homemade dessert for every meal.

You can make half of the recipe without problems.

If you want to serve it more beautifully, you can use a round cutter, as I did, and bathe it with a bit of caramel. Either way, it's delicious and so simple. Use flavorful vanilla since it will be the prominent flavor.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F or 180C.
For the caramel: Place the sugar in a small pot with wet walls, add the water. The important thing is that all the sugar is underwater—Cook over medium heat and let boil without stirring until it changes color.
Lower the temperature and do not take your eyes off the pot; as soon as it reaches the color of tea, turn off the heat. Let cool for 1 minute and cover the bottom of a pan that can go to the oven. It can be glass or metal. Be careful. The pan will heat up.
For the flan: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until well mixed, about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla, stir. Add the yogurt and mix well.
Pour over the caramelized mold.
Bake for 1 hour or until golden and firm. It is usual for the flan to rise high in the oven and then lower when cooling down.
Let cool completely before serving.
