Have you ever had flan before? It might be one of those dishes that you thought you’d never get to enjoy again! Flan is a dessert with roots in Latin America and Spain. You might also know it as creme caramel. It’s a rich, creamy vanilla custard topped with caramel sauce. This dish is all about eggs and dairy — especially those eggs! I’ll admit, there was a time when I thought a vegan flan was impossible. But that was before I created vegan recipes for eggy dishes like vegan custard pie and vegan quiche. I’m now of the belief that pretty much anything can be veganized, even flan. This recipe is surprisingly simple to make, though you might need to track down a few ingredients. Don’t worry though! I’ve given you some guidance in the section below. I think you’re going to love this decadent dessert!
How It’s Made
The following is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish. Scroll all the way down if you’d like to skip right to the recipe! Tip: While this recipe was created using an 8-inch round cake pan, there’s nothing stopping you from using a different sized cake pan or individual ramekins. Just make that whatever you use will fit into another container that can work as a hot water bath for releasing the flan from the pan. Tip: Don’t cut the cook time for your custard short! Agar agar needs a few solid minutes of simmering in order for it to fully activate and gel. Now you can slice up and enjoy your vegan flan!
