Easy Flan or Cream Caramel (TX) Recipe

submitted by reader Nell Hull of Paradise, TX

Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup whipping cream
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the eggs, cream, condensed milk, and whole milk in a blender, but do not start. Set aside.
Cook the sugar, without stirring, in a small heavy skillet. The sugar will melt and turn amber. Cook it until it begins to “string” when a spoon or knife is dipped in. Pour the melted sugar into a 1 1/2 quart Pyrex or glass soufflé dish.
Now start the blender. When the ingredients are whipped, pour this over the melted sugar.
Place the flan dish into a larger pan that has 1-inch of water in it. Bake the flan in the water bath for about 1 hour, until the center is set. The top of the flan will have a golden and bubbly crust. (Test by inserting the blade of a knife in the center. It should come out clean.) This flan can be turned out onto a plate when it’s still warm or can be served out of the dish.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen:
A dash of cinnamon makes a nice touch in this elegant dessert. Serve it with fresh berries. It’s delicious warm or cold.

While this recipe seems very easy, it seems to missing the key ingredient.....vanilla extract. Without the vanilla, I can only assume it'll taste extremly egg-y.

The reader who submitted the recipe did not include vanilla extract, and when we tested the recipe, we thought it was fine without it. I think a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring would be nice though.
