Crème Caramel Recipe (Classic French Flan) – Easy Baked Custard Dessert
Few desserts are as timeless (and crowd-pleasing) as a classic crème caramel. This French flan bakes gently in a water bath until just set, then chills and unmolds into a satin-smooth custard under a veil of bittersweet caramel. It’s budget-friendly, naturally gluten-free, and perfect when you need a reliable make-ahead dessert that transports well for potlucks or holiday gatherings across Canada and the USA.
