Few desserts evoke as much nostalgia as flan. Present in many cultures, this dessert has become a classic thanks to its smooth, creamy texture and its delicate balance between sweetness and lightness. In kitchens around the world, flan is the perfect way to end a special meal—comforting, familiar, and at the same time refined.
