  2. Place all filling ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until smooth and completely combined.
  3. Scrape into the caramel lined pan. Gently smooth top
  4. Place the pan/mold in a larger roasting pan and fill the surrounding area with hot water until it reaches up to the same height as the flan mixture.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes
  6. Allow flan to cool in pan completely before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) covered with foil or saran wrap.
  7. To unmold the flan, simply run a knife around the sides, place an upside down serving platter over the flan then invert really quickly.
