- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Peanut Butter Sauce:

- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt

Cooking Tips:

- Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan when making the caramel sauce to prevent burning.
- When adding the hot caramel sauce to the flan dish, be sure to tilt the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides.
- To prevent the flan from cracking, be sure to let it cool completely before removing it from the dish.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture turns a deep amber color.
3. Pour the caramel sauce into a 9-inch flan dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Pour the mixture into the flan dish over the caramel sauce.
6. Place the flan dish into a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
9. To make the peanut butter sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.
10. Serve the flan with a drizzle of peanut butter sauce on top.
