Puerto Rican flan is a classic dessert known for its creamy, smooth texture and rich caramel flavor. It is essentially an egg custard made with a base of milk, eggs, and sugar. The custard is poured over a layer of caramelized sugar, then baked in a water bath to ensure even cooking and silky texture. Once baked, the flan is flipped upside down to reveal a beautiful caramel topping. The combination of the light, creamy custard and the sweet, rich caramel makes it a delightful treat.
Tres leches is a delightful sponge cake soaked in three types of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. The name “tres leches” literally means “three milks” in Spanish. It’s a beloved dessert for its unique texture and rich, sweet flavor.
