In a saucepan over medium heat, dissolve 100 g granulated sugar in 2 tbsp water. Cook the mixture until it turns a golden-brown colour to create caramel. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of six ramekins, ensuring an even layer. Set aside to cool slightly.

In another saucepan, mix 750ml of heavy cream with the contents of the Dr. Oetker Vanilla Pie Filling & Dessert Mix package.

Stir continuously over medium high heat (approx. 15 min.) to prevent burn.When mixture comes to boil & begins to thicken, stir for 1 min. more. Remove from heat and stir well two separate times over a 5 min period.

Carefully pour the flan mixture into the prepared ramekins over the caramel layer. Let them cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.

To serve, loosen the edges with a knife and invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate, allowing the caramel sauce to drizzle over the flan. Enjoy your classic vanilla flan with its smooth, creamy texture and rich caramel flavour!
