The Most Perfect Flan de Vainilla Recipe

ByCarolyn

My mom and I learned how to make this flan recipe during the pandemic where we wanted to learn how to make this dessert for fun. We struggled to say the least with the caramel topping but we were able to make it work after 3 failed attempts! The key is to keep the sugar hot!

Yield: 8-12 servings

Flan de Vainilla (Creme Caramel)

After making variations of this dessert for a few years now I struggled to find the best ratio of eggs to mixture and think 3 eggs is the best so the mixture doesnt taste eggy at all.

I found the swap of vanilla extract to vanilla paste adds so much more flavor and would highly recommend
