Flan, famously known as crème caramel is a sweet, decadent, and rich sweet custard that is topped a sweet but light caramel sauce. Flan differs from crème brûlée as the topping is a soft layer of caramel and not a hardened one. I have used condensed milk for this Vanilla Flan recipe because it gives it a luxurious and ultra-creamy texture and it literally melts in your mouth!
Now, making a Flan is not as easy as it seems. I have seen the most experienced go wrong here. Also, there are possible hundreds of flan recipes all over the internet and people still struggle with this dessert. But, trust me, making this vanilla flan is no rocket science at all. Just follow this recipe blindly and you’re good to go!
Flan is delicate and light despite the milkmaid and heavy cream and if you haven’t tried this recipe out, you are missing out on a LOT. Trust me when I say this. This flan is different from all your cheesecakes and sponge cakes and tarts and it helps to break the monotony with the uniformity of it’s taste. It is simply brilliant!
