**Easy Ube Flan Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup ube (purple yam), cooked and mashed
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup sugar
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish large enough to accommodate your flan mixture with a water bath.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Let it cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar caramelizes and turns amber in color. Pour the caramel into the bottom of the baking dish and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
3. In a blender, combine the mashed ube, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
4. Carefully pour the ube flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
5. Create a water bath by placing the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water, making sure the water reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
6. Carefully transfer the water bath to the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and develop its flavors.
8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Place a serving platter on top of the flan dish and quickly invert to release the flan onto the serving platter. The caramel sauce will drizzle over the ube flan, creating a beautiful presentation.
9. Slice the Easy Ube Flan into portions and enjoy the delightful combination of ube and creamy flan with each luscious bite.
