Crème caramel, also known as flan or caramel custard, is a classic French dessert loved for its silky-smooth texture and rich caramel flavor. To make crème caramel, a creamy custard base is prepared with eggs, sugar, vanilla, and milk or cream, then poured into molds lined with caramelized sugar. The molds are then baked in a water bath until the custard sets and becomes firm. After chilling and firming in the refrigerator, the crème caramels are inverted onto serving plates, revealing a beautiful layer of golden caramel sauce that coats the luscious custard. This elegant dessert is both luxurious and comforting, perfect for indulging in after a meal or for celebrating special occasions. Its delicate balance of sweetness and creaminess makes it a timeless favorite among dessert lovers worldwide.
