creme caramel
Inverted custard dessert
Creme caramel is a custard dessert with a layer of soft caramel on top.
The custard is baked in a dish lined with caramelized sugar, then inverted so the caramel pools over the top.
Also called flan in Spanish-speaking countries and crème caramel in French: The restaurant's creme caramel was silky and not too sweet.
