How to store
Let the flan cool completely before placing in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to 5 days.
Can it be frozen?
It is not recommended to freeze the flan, as the texture may change when thawing. If you want to freeze, consider making small individual portions and thawing only the necessary amount.
What to serve with
Serve the pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a scoop of heavy cream to make the experience even more special.
Frequently asked questions
Is it necessary to use a specific brand of condensed milk?
No, any brand of sweetened condensed milk can be used, but make sure it is of good quality.
Can the pudding be made with whole eggs?
No, it's better to use only the beaten eggs. The use of egg yolks can alter the consistency of the flan.
Can the flan be made without the water bath?
It is not recommended, as the bain-marie helps ensure that the flan cooks evenly without forming a hard layer on top.
Can the flan be made in a non-caramelized pan?
Yes, but the syrup flavor will not be as intense. You can use a non-caramelized pan, but the final texture may be a little different.
