Ingredients
1 - 1/2 c. sugar, divided1 tsp. of lemon juice
6 large eggs
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, canned
3-1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Slow Cooker “Mexican Custard” (Flan) is one a delicious dessert you can serve with your favorite Mexican meal or anytime! It’s smooth and velvety texture is just delicious.
- Warm a pan over medium heat, and pour in 1 cup of sugar.
- Constantly stir sugar until it browns and becomes caramelized.
- Once desired color is reached, pour lemon juice over the sugar to stop it from browning.
- Quickly pour caramel into ramekins that will fit in your slow cooker. (tilt to swirl the caramel around the sides.)
- Whisk eggs in a bowl.
- Add in the milk, then slowly mix in the 1/2 c. sugar, and the vanilla. (Blend well after each ingredient is added.)
- Pour custard into the ramekins (over top caramel) that you placed in the Slow Cooker.
- Cover. Cook on High for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Check with a knife just to the side of the center. If knife comes out clean, the flan is ready.
- Remove and let cool for a few minutes then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Using a knife, cut around the edges of each ramekin and turn upside down on a plate (to remove custard.)
- Spoon any additional caramel sauce from ramekin over the custard and serve.
Happy Crocking!

Hi, I’m just a little confused on the recipe, it notes to add the caramelized sugar into a baking dish that fits in the crock pot . So do we put the baling fish inside the crockpot and then pour the mixing milk? So the crock pot will cook the baking dish with no liquid added? Please help Thanks
Hi Lili – I think you are asking if you need to pour water around the dish in the crock and the answer is no. You just need to place the baking dish in the slow cooker and cook that way. Happy Crocking!
You don’t need the ramekins either. Pour caramel into crock pot add egg mixture and cook.works perfectly.
Why not cook it right in the crock pot. I wonder if anyone has tried it… I think I will try it right in the crock pot instead of a separate dish in the crock pot.
Thanks.
Did you try it straight in the crock pot? What happened? Was it successful?
Neth, I did not put it straight in the slow cooker, I used custard dishes in my oval slow cooker. If you make it in the slow cooker, please post back and let us know how it turned out. I would crock it for a shorter time if using it directly in the slow cooker. 🙂
Perfect
Yes it comes out perfectly
Do you put the custard mixture in the baking dish or directly in the crock pot?
Hi Katie, yes you put the custard mixture in the baking dish that will fit inside your slow cooker. This is so YUMMY! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
How many people does this serve?
Hi Kylie, you will find the serving size on all the recipes on the upper right hand corner of each page, but happy to share this recipe serves 6! Happy Crocking! 🙂
