Gourmet Variations
Chocolate: Add 150g of melted dark chocolate to the cream before baking.
Coconut: Replace 200ml of milk with coconut milk and add 50g of shredded coconut.
Fruit: Add pieces of pear, apple, or prune to the tart base.
Crustless: Pour the cream directly into a buttered tart pan for a lighter flan.
Orange Blossom: Add a tablespoon of orange blossom water for a fragrant touch.
Tips for a Successful Baked Flan
Don’t overcook the cream: It should thicken without boiling to avoid lumps.
Chill thoroughly before cutting: The flan firms up as it cools.
Use whole milk: This is key.
