In the reel by @cupcakeproject, the baker states that this “game changer” flan recipe is by her Argentinian friend. We first see a person adding some castor sugar to two glass cups. He adds a little water to the cups and then microwaves them for around 2 minutes. Next, he breaks two eggs into a bowl, followed by milk and sugar. He then pours some vanilla essence and whisks the mixture with a fork.

Taking the cups microwaved earlier, he swirls them to allow the melted sugar to coat them well on the inside. The cups should be allowed to cool for a minute so that you can turn them upside down without the contents getting spilt. Once this is done, the person pours the whisked egg mixture into the cups and microwaves them for approximately 5 minutes. One should watch them closely to ensure there is no overflow, as per the text on the video. If it is set, a knife inserted into it should come out clean.

Finally, the person cools the cups in an ice bath and leaves them in the freezer to chill for a few minutes. Before serving, the cups are overturned onto a plate to reveal a luscious dessert with a caramelised topping. Watch the complete video below:
