Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces Evaporated milk
  • 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 Large eggs
  • 5 Tbsp Mashed sweet potato
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Ground Nutmeg

Caramel

  • 1 cup Granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C).
  • Place the granulated sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and turns into caramel. This will take about ten minutes. Be vigilant as caramel can burn quickly.
  • Once the sugar has caramelized, pour it into a round ceramic flan pan that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mashed sweet potato in a mixing bowl, then add evaporated and sweetened condensed milk, blending the mixture in a blender for a smoother and well-integrated flan mixture.
  • Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the flan pan until it reaches a depth of about one inch.
  • Place the flan pan in a larger baking dish and add hot water to the larger dish until it reaches about one inch up the sides of the flan pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the custard comes out clean.
  • Remove the flan pan from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the flan for at least four hours, or until it is fully set.
  • To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard to loosen it from the pan. Invert the pan onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the flan.
