How to make flan without condensed milk

The process of making a vanilla flan can be divided into two main parts: the preparation of the caramel and the preparation of the flan itself. To make the caramel, sugar and water are mixed in a saucepan and cooked until it acquires an amber color. This caramel is poured into a mold and left to cool. To make the flan, beat eggs in a bowl and gradually add sugar, followed by warm evaporated milk and vanilla essence. This mixture is poured over the cooled caramel in the mold and cooked over a slow fire for 35 to 45 minutes. After cooling and refrigerating for at least 2 hours, the flan is ready to be unmolded and enjoyed.
