Milk Pudding Flan
Ingredients:
– 4 cups (1 liter) of milk
– 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk
– 1 cup (200g) of sugar
– 4 eggs
– 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (optional, for additional thickness)
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mixture:
In a blender, combine the milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

Transfer the blended mixture to a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
