Caramel Flan Recipe

    I regularly make this flan suitable for people with type 2 diabetes, using the same amount of milk and eggs but only 60 grams of sugar plus a packet of vanilla sugar, and of course no caramel.

    very well described Thank you for the recipe, it is very well described, as I have seen other flan proposals but in summary. I think it is the best one available online.

    Caramel Flan I have this recipe from my mother, practically the same. My suggestion: Instead of the water bath, I place the same mold in the pressure cooker with a plate on top. And only 7 minutes of cooking once the steam is coming out. I've been doing this for 30 years and everyone loves it.

    Parfait I loved it, it's better than the ones you buy in stores! My suggestion: I reduced the sugar (80 g of brown sugar).

    Very good. Perfect! Very good recipe. My suggestion: You can also add rum and/or grated nutmeg. For me, the taste is excellent...
