did not know this was possible i feel like i have awakened my sharingan
edit: i didn't realize this post would get traction so i apologize for not being more clear with my words. i want to clarify that boiling sweetened condensed milk makes dulce de leche which you then put into the flan custard.
we originally did this bc my little brother had to do it for an assignment in science class that involved making dulce de leche and then flan! so i was very surprised at how simple it all was to make. if y'all are interested, i encourage you to try it yourself as it is delicious and fun :D
Oh I forgot I can have dessert for dinner too
Treat yourself!!!!
So weird seeing this after binge-ing Good Girls all night.
I just can‘t help it 😂
Gifs you can hear
I feel like the final transition into adulthood is the realization that you can just go and buy an entire cake and eat it as a meal whenever you want—no one is going to stop you.
When I was little my favorite restaurant had a sign that said "life is short, eat dessert first!" and that line really stuck with me. Why wait to savor the sweet things?
it is how you make dulce de leche lol
Nobody told me it was that easy 😭 the last time I tried to make flan I burned a whole pot attempting to caramelize sugar 🤣
We’ve all been there at some point. Caramelising sugar is like making a roux for gumbo, low heat, patience and stirring
I just miss milk so much…..35 years and all the sudden I have a serious lactose intolerance.
i too am lactose intolerant
They sell condensed coconut milk, if you are lactose intolerant or don’t mind the coconut flavor.
I didn't know this, bless you for saying this on the internet
I discovered vegan coconut caramel by accident a couple of years ago while ordering a latte at a local gluten-free cafe and it is absolutely delicious.
It’s really really good!
Is this yoonchae? 🤣
Me too but I’d so down a wheel of cheese and sit on the throne for a solid three weeks. Fuckkkkkk
Luckily for us, certain cheeses are really low on lactose!!! So usually safe to eat. Maybe not a whole ass wheel though 😂
Any cheese aged over 6mo is (essentially) lactose free. That’s why all Cabot cheddar is lactose-free. Parm, Swiss, Gouda, surely many others.
People with lactose-intolerance have recently been “microdosing” dairy to de-trigger the allergy/sensitivity. Starting with a shot of skim milk one day, then a small glass the next, then a little bigger glass, drinking one serving a day. Then, over the course of a couple weeks to a month, the body becomes accustomed to the small amount of lactose so when you consume a larger amount it’s unlikely to trigger a reaction.
Those skim milk folks might be going about it ineffectively. Apparently it can kinda work but you need to seek out the probiotic Bifidobacterium and prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) specifically through certain foods, and it potentially works even better if you make sure to eat foods that have both.
A Narrative Review of Human Clinical Trials to Improve Lactose Digestion and Tolerance by Feeding Bifidobacteria or Galacto-Oligosacharides
Skim milk does not contain Bifidobacterium and very low GOS, though there’s GOS-enriched versions. Going that weak might benefit some lactose intolerant folks… but taking a little yogurt (I don’t know which type, sorry) or kefir might work a lot better (both of those contain the stuff).
I wonder if that really works. Might have to try it out
I mean, if you’re rawdoggin’ the consequences as is, it’s probably worth a shot right 😂
Oh I’m allergic to dairy but it is easier to not explain bc stomach trouble lol
Aww man, yeah that’s a whole different beast 😭😭
You can cure that
i watched this video 2 weeks ago and have been lactose maxxing since
Honestly it’s okay my diet is way cleaner without it. I’ll watch the video though because my little guy doesn’t tolerate milk products well.
So thanks for the link!
Are you in perimenopause? 'Cuz I am, and I also have servere lactose intolerance. I really freaking miss cheese 😭
Happened to me tooo and I am so freaking sad😿
Nope just had a baby on complete accident. I thought I actually was and I was like shoot I need to see a doctor I am seriously late on my period but it was just another baby. I took my tubes out after this one lol
omg this can happen in peri?! cheese is all we have!!!! 😩
Yes!!! I am also one of those women who discovered they had undiagnosed ADHD during peri too! It has been a rollercoaster! (Please let me off!)
omg 🫂 i found a gyno that actually discussed options. i was on the verge of tears when i had my first appt bc she listened. like itchy ear is a peri thing wth
For itchy ears- Flonase on a qtip!
whaaaaaaaa?! it works?
According to my bestie, YES! I wear hearing aids and have a specific product for my ears.
I have lactose intolerance and I am so glad we have lactose free stuff
have you tried lactaid brand milk?
Yeah it still causes issues. Stomach problems and the weirdest thing is it makes me dizzy when I drink milk even lactose free milk.
I never had this issue before having babies. I had milk everyday of my life.
Someone once said drink raw milk and I was like no lol I lived right next to a dairy farm when you milk a cow there’s no way to get them clean enough to be safe they wag their poop covered tails lol
You should try oatmilk. PlanetOat Extra Creamy is my favorite. They even make condensed oatmilk in a can (I get it at Walmart)
Works just like the cow juice.
Made an amazing dulce de leche cake last weekend with it!
Oh yeah oatmilk cheese exists too and it's delicious
I do use oatmilk for my coffees I don’t like it as much but it’s really been helpful for breastfeeding as well.
I just go without cheese.
that sucks lactaid isn't effective. just wondering did you also develop an egg intolerance at all?
No. I actually eat eggs everyday.
I can tolerate like salad dressing still just not milk, cheese etc.
Noooooo I'm so sorry for the loss of dairy. 😢
Are you fucking with me rn or is that really all there is to it?
this makes the dulce de leche which can be used instead of caramel for the sauce used for flan (which imo is the hardest part)
Thank you so much for this helpful information!
my brother did the bulk of the work so i'll confirm the recipe with him and post it on here when i can :)
I see this was just for the caramel part.... What did you use for the flan? Eggs, more condensed milk and evaporated milk with vanilla extract?
yes, it's just the most basic way to make flan custard!! im also super lazy so i just blend the custard mix in a blender lmfao. basically, the difference is instead of placing caramel at the bottom of the pan, you spread the dulce de leche. the remaining dulce de leche got added to the flan custard mix before blending! also added some coffee to it teehee
You've made dulce de leche
The Mexican side of me jumped out of my skin.
yes, sorry i didn't realize ppl would actually interact with the post when i made it so i wasn't clear enough
Haha dw. Fun fact is that you can make flan and use dulce de leche instead of making caramel. I swear by my two Argentinian grandmas that is delicious. You can even add it to the flan mix 🫡
we added the dulce de leche to the flan mix and it is absolutely delicious! i will never doubt your grandmas!!
If you beat thia with 4 egg yolks and then fold it INTO 4 egg whites beaten until firm you get a portuguese dessert called "camel's drool".
will need to try so i can tell everyone i ate a camel's drool
That's how I make caramel for millionaires shortbread, or doughnut filling
👀 recipe pls
Basically make shortbread as a slab covering the bottom of a high walled baking dish.
Make this stuff and spread it on top.
Pour melted chocolate over the top.
Chill, cut into squares and eat.
thank youuuu this sounds amazing
This is visionary work
sounds delicious, will be trying!!
Pls post to /onlyflans 💖 love this!
as you wish!
🙏🏻 god speed and god bless
Use the sweetened condensed coconut milk next time to get the most delicious toasted coconut dulce de leche ever.
your MIND!!!!!
This looks delicious - how is it square? Was your pan square?
yes! used a square pan as that's all we have atm :)
Neato!!
how did you boil a pan for 3 hours
boiled a can of sweetened condensed milk (unopened) in a pot for 3 hours to make dulce de leche which was then used in flan custard to make dulce de leche flan!
I'm saying this in the nicest way possible, but bb, that isn't how you make flan.
Dulce De leche? Si. Leche quemada? Close. 🥹
mmmmmm flannnnnn i need to make some now
Obsessed
AWAKENED YOUR SHARINGFLAN
o that looks amazing
So wait! The boiling the condensed milk, is that essentially the part you pour into the baking dish and you spread it so it can harden, so you can eventually put the custard on there?
yes you spread some at the bottom of the pan then the custard on top! you then put the remaining dulce de leche in your custard mix :D you can even do it all and put caramel at the bottom of the pan and the dulce de leche in your custard to get dulce de leche flan!!!
I love that!!! My favorite things to make with dulce de leche is banoffee pie and millionaire shortbread
gonna need y'alls recipes fr
Next time put it in a pressure pan ;) Your welcome
The longer you boil it, the thicker and sweeter it gets. You can make caramel this way, but it can also explode.
Idk if you have this in your country but in my country you can buy this already made at the shops. Saves you the time to boil.
Did you see a video yesterday on made me smile with a man that was super excited his flan turned out so well and then decided to make your own? Well I did (atleast put making a flan on my invisible to do list) - and now with your help I’m definitely gonna use the sweetened condensed milk - thanks 😊
i did not see that video but i wanna see it now awweee. this was made for my brother's science assignment. also, boiling sweetened condensed milk will make dulce de leche, but you will have to make the custard separately (its super easy though, just add the ingredients to a blender)!! good luck with your flan i know it will be delicious <33333
Type -Husband excited flan in Reddit search and it will pop up . I dunno the last time I was as excited as this man over his flan lol.
ty for sharing this, 11:11 is to find something that brings me as much joy as flan brings to this man
Well done chef
thank you chef
Yum. Totally worth the stomach ache.
Just so you know, boiling food directly in the can is not a good idea as it leaches chemicals from the can’s lining into the food.
this is good to know, thank you!!
