I like to make mini-flans with my mini-me in mini-muffin tins. It’s the perfect light dessert. You can store in your fridge and they keep nicely for over a week, so you can spread them out over time.
In our opinion, a flan should not be overly sweet — we cut down on sugar for the custard since the caramel is sweet enough. Also, we like the texture to be silky smooth, so we don’t use any extraneous thickening agents.
