Latin American flan is a dense and creamy custard dessert that usually has a smooth, silky texture. It’s most often served in a rich caramel sauce. It’s made with sweetened condensed milk, as is customary with many Latin American desserts. Some people liken it cheesecake, while others say it closely resembled pudding. Either way, the texture and flavor are perfect for each other.
