Flan

Of course, it’s flan, or créme caramel, or crema caramella, depending on where you are. A classic dessert as old as the Romans, it has become one of the most popular desserts in France, Portugal, Spain, and most notably, Latin America. Whether it’s in the variation of pudim abade de priscos with 15 egg yolks and bacon in Porto, flan de coco with coconut and condensed milks in Santo Domingo, or served with dulce de leche in Buenos Aires, flan has become ubiquitous with Latin American desserts.
