Recipe Tips

Heat oven to 325°F.

Cook sugar and water in large saucepan on medium heat 10 min. or until sugar is completely dissolved and deep golden brown in color, stirring constantly and occasionally brushing sugar crystals off side of pan with moistened pastry brush. (Watch carefully so caramel sauce does not burn.) Pour caramel into 8 (6-oz.) ovenproof ramekins; tilt ramekins to evenly coat bottoms with sauce.

Whisk next 4 ingredients until blended; pour into ramekins. Place in large baking pan filled with 1 to 2 inches hot water. (Water should come about halfway up sides of filled ramekins.)

Bake 35 to 45 min. or until centers of custards are set. Carefully transfer ramekins from water bath to wire rack; cool completely.

Refrigerate 1 hour or until chilled. Meanwhile, break 4 grahams crosswise in half; coarsely crush remaining grahams.

Unmold flans onto graham squares just before serving. (See tip.) Sprinkle with graham crumbs.
