Cuban flan is a lush, silky caramel custard known for its richness and firmness, made from condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and sugar baked slowly until it sets into a trembling, creamy slice capped with amber caramel. Its texture is denser than some Latin American versions, with a deeply sweet flavor that feels comforting and familiar. Found on nearly every Cuban table during birthdays, holidays, and Sunday dinners, flan is a sweet that anchors family storylines, carrying generations of memory in each slice.
