Flan, also known as crème caramel, is a milk-based dessert with a thin layer of caramel on top. It’s creamy, lush and with only 6 ingredients and two steps, a breeze to put together. This dessert is essentially crème brûlée without the blow torch. This is a great option for those that are gluten-free or just need a rich custard in their life. This dish works perfectly in Suvie as you don’t need to prepare a bain-marie as you would for baking in a traditional oven. The result is silky smooth, caramelly goodness that you won’t be able to resist.

I replaced all milk products with 2 cups of cream. It turned out great anyway. Is it just me or does this oven make things so easy?
Turned out very good and tasty! As it was my first time ever making flan, I could have benefitted with a suggestion to blend the eggs, or maybe sieve the mix so that it’s perfectly smooth. There was a bit of egg bits here and there purely cuz I didn’t mix it in well enough! Also, I don’t know if this is a recipe issue or a Suvie issue, but it seems like every slow cook Low recipe I’ve tried is not enough time for the cook. I had to add 15 minutes on Bake 350 for the perfect “jiggle… Read more »
