So somewhere in my crazy mind, I got the idea that D's grandmother made flan. Turns out...not so much! It was just a topic that had come up recently quite often between me and numerous people so I decided it was time to try it for myself.
D had always mentioned Cajeta (Mexican goats milk caramel) when talking about flan, so I knew that this would definitely need to be a component. Luckily, I came across this recipe for Cajeta.
It was easy but was a pretty involved time commitment, taking over an hour to make.
Definitely worth it.
So I made the Cajeta in advance (knowing that flan wasn't the quickest desert) and placed in in the refrigerator over night.
The next day was flan day! I had made steak fajitas for dinner and tried my best to save room. The flan came together more easily then I would have ever imagined. I suppose I can credit some of this to all my practice in custard making that I have gotten this year. I used this amazing Cajeta Flan recipe. It worked perfectly.
