Step 1
Pour sugar into a heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar melts and turns deep amber, 5–7 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Quickly tilt and coat the pan bottom with caramel, working fast—it hardens quickly.
Step 3
Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla in a blender until smooth, 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour custard mixture over caramel. Return skillet to medium heat and cook 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Cover tightly with foil. Let sit at room temperature until set and cooled, about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Run a thin knife around edges. Invert onto a serving plate—caramel pools on top. Chill before serving.
