Flan is a very popular dessert in South America.It's a creamy custard, baked on top of a layer of caramel.When the cooked flan is flipped out of the pan, the caramel becomes a pretty topping as well as a sauce for the dessert.

This flan recipe has even more caramel flavor, as dulce de leche, a thick caramel milk & sugar confection, is added to the custard.
FLan is easy to prepare and yet always seems very impressive and dramatic in presentation.Most people serve flan cold, but I think it is creamiest and most delicious when it is still warm from the oven.
