🇨🇺 Cuba recipe
Flan Cubano
Cuban flan is richer and denser than its Spanish ancestor, thanks to the addition of cream cheese and condensed milk that are hallmarks of the Cuban version. The custard is baked in a caramel-lined pan until just set, then chilled and unmolded to reveal a glossy amber caramel coating over a silky, impossibly smooth custard. It is the grand finale of every Cuban celebration, from Nochebuena to Sunday family dinners, and no Cuban restaurant menu is complete without it.
