Tres leches mexican flan recipe with step by step pictures.

Tres Leches Mexican Flan

Mexican flan is nothing but a rich dense caramel custard dessert. This is super easy to make and taste absolutely delicious. The texture of this flan is unlike other flans, it is little dense in texture and so much richer.

The flan is creamy pudding like which is not too sweet and has a slight bitternote from the caramel. So good.

    This is NOT tres leches. It’s either flan or tres leches, can’t be both. Flan is always made with several types of milks/creams anyways. đŸ™„đŸ˜‘
