Parisian Flan Parisian Flan
This is hands down my favorite flan dessert. Nothing beats this French custard dessert. It is also well known for it's simplicity and sophistication. You know what they usually say, the simpler the recipe is, the more people screws things up. I am not saying that I had perfected the craft tho. I am still far from pushing out a perfect Parisian Flan.But as far as what Parisian Flan should be, this should be the base. I mean, I had been served worse Parisian Flan than mine. Some are just too hard while some are too soggy without any crispy crust. What makes Parisian Flan so fascinating is the soft custardy interior with a crispy crust, especially when you get to the edge.This flan only uses a few ingredients, so by using the best ingredients, especially vanilla, will make a whole lotta difference. It is best to keep the flan chilled in the fridge and serve the next day. But I prefer my flan to be warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and some espresso granita. As soon as I slice and serve this Parisian Flam, it is gone in an instant! My daughters are always hungry, I do not know why. Lol! Anyway, I hope you will give this recipe a try.
