caramel flan
Amber-topped egg dessert
Caramel flan is a custard dessert with a layer of soft caramel on top, made by baking egg custard over caramelized sugar that liquefies during cooking.
When unmolded, the caramel pools around the custard as a sauce.
The dish appears across many cuisines—Spanish flan, French crème caramel, Latin American flan de leche—with minor variations in richness and texture.
