caramel custard

Silky baked pudding

Caramel custard is a baked dessert of egg custard with a layer of caramel sauce, typically made by lining a mold with caramelized sugar before adding the custard mixture.

When inverted for serving, the caramel becomes a golden sauce that pools around the custard.

Known as flan in Spanish-speaking countries and crème caramel in French cuisine.
