Mexican Dessert Recipes
Mexican Custard
Mexican custard, also known as flan, is one of the most popular Mexican dessert recipes. Custard flan recipes do vary from country to country. For example, French crème brûlée is crispy on the top and Mexican custard flan has a liquid caramel topping.
Mexican custard is a French influenced dish but is also popular throughout the United States, the Philippines, parts of Europe and Japan. Mexican custard can be made as individual portions or as one dish. There are instant Mexican custard mixes available but this recipe is far superior. This is quite an easy recipe to follow and results in a light-tasting dessert, which is ideal after a rich, filling meal.

Stir the vanilla, condensed milk, evaporated milk and eggs together, and then add this to the pie dish.
Set the glass pie dish in a big baking pan, and then add water to the outer pan so the glass dish sits in the water.
