    7 Flan recipes easy to make, creamy and delicious. This dessert is very popular in Latin American and Spanish cuisine and this list has different flavors to try.

    The Ultimate Flan Round UpPin

    What is Flan?

    It is a classic rich and creamy custard base dessert, typically made with eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and vanilla, and topped with a sweet layer of caramel sauce. This dessert is popular in Latin America and Spain. There are many variations and flavors of flan depending on the country and the cook.

    How to Storage Flan?

    Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve or for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing it as the flan consistency is not very good after thawing it.

    Flan is one of my favorite desserts and this is a wonderful list comprised of 7 delicious recipes for you to try. If you don't like flan and want to try a different dessert check my whole list here.
