Flan (Custard) is a creamy, dreamy dessert that brings a delightful touch to any table. With its smooth texture and rich flavor, it’s a fantastic way to impress your guests or simply indulge yourself.
When making Flan (Custard), feel free to substitute regular sweetened condensed milk if you’re not concerned with calories, as it will add a richer flavor. For those with egg allergies, a suitable egg replacer might work, but the texture could vary. Always check the labels on your ingredients to avoid allergens and ensure quality; organic options can provide a fresher taste.
