    This did not set properly for me, even after extending baking time about 20
    minutes. Oven temp etc all correct, ingredients exactly as shown.

    I ignored the part about using a “non stick pan” for caramelizing the
    sugar. Huge beginners mistake. Nonetheless, excellent recipe. Thanks for
    sharing!

    tip to not get that burn on the top put some aluminum foil to cover the
    mold like a roof

    What do you mean of heavy cream?

  10. ImaGhostSE

    I really wanna make this. I’ve never tried it. And I’m a beginner chef. But
    it can’t be that hard right?

    Is it okay not to use milk?

  12. Gloria Kohli

    I allrecipes, I just have a question. Do you know why this treat is called
    “Flan”? Just wondering. Thanks!

  13. G4MeWithN0X

    Any substitute of the heavy cream ?? And can I use the stove instead of the
    oven ??

    Hi, Jessica Valadez – Yes, you may substitute evaporated milk right from
    the can in place of the heavy cream. It won’t be quite as rich as the
    cream. but the flan will still be delicious. Let us know what you think
    after you make it.

    Glad you like the recipe, carolina villarreal. Spraying the pan with a
    non-stick spray isn’t necessary. The caramel topping doesn’t harden and
    will release easily when the baking dish is flipped onto a serving platter.
    Enjoy!

    Thanks for your question, Ashni Khandelwal. There are several choices for
    egg substitutes. Finely ground flax seeds and mashed bananas may be used,
    or pureed tofu (use 1/4 cup of pureed tofu to equal 1 egg). You might also
    use a prepared (commercial) vegetarian egg replacement. To find this, look
    in the egg section of your grocery store.

    Hi, Glenda Ramos – Traditional Spanish flan doesn’t use buttermilk, but you
    will find it used in some Mexican recipes. Were you thinking of
    substituting buttermilk for 1 cup milk? We wouldn’t recommend using it
    instead of the condensed milk or heavy cream. Those two ingredients are
    essential. Give it a try and let us know how it worked out.

    Hello, Cjoy Zapanta – Do you intend to pour the flan mixture into the rice
    cooker? Or set dishes containing the flan inside the rice cooker? It might
    be tricky to serve the dessert from the rice cooper, or not. On the other
    hand, it could work. Want to try it and let us know?

    Thank you for your question, Yesenia. You can use evaporated milk instead
    of heavy cream. But because evaporated milk is lower in fat, the flan
    won’t have the same creamy, rich consistency.

    Thanks for your question, Krystal Radilla. The flan should be “set” or firm
    when it’s removed from the oven. You may need to check your oven
    temperature to be sure it’s correct. It needs to be 350 degrees Fahrenheit
    (175 degrees Celsius). When you add the water to the baking pan, it needs
    to be HOT, so we recommend letting the tap run until the water is steaming,
    or bringing a pan of water almost to a boil and using this. Hope this
    helps.
