Mexican-inspired Flan

Silky custard and rich caramel are the perfect match. Made with eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla and poured into a pan with a caramel-sauced bottom, flan is then baked in a water bath to achieve a delicate smooth custard. This version takes everything we love about a traditional flan and adds a touch of festive flair with fresh clementine.
