Caramel Flan
"Your guests arrive in ten minutes.Your Mexican-style spread, featuring a host of Trader Joe’s products—Chicken Taquitos, Crispy Potato & Poblano Pepper Tacos, Organic Blue Corn Tortilla Chips, and Guacasalsa—is ready to go. All that’s missing is dessert! You had intended on making churros, but somehow, time slipped away. Now, you need a Plan B; something quick, easy, and delicious that also sticks with the Trader Joe’s/Mexican theme... We’ve got you: Trader Joe’s Traditional Caramel Flan to the rescue! Our Flan is Traditional, indeed, made with just six ingredients. The custard is cooked using a customary water-bath method to yield that classic firm, yet smooth & creamy texture—and that’s without thickeners or starches. Keep the package (two servings each) in your refrigerator until it’s time to enjoy. To serve, gently run a smooth knife blade around the edge of each foil cup, then invert the Flan onto your chosen serving plate. Dessert, done! If you like, you can garnish with a handful of berries or a dollop of Crème Fraîche. The custard combines with its translucent, golden-colored, caramel topping to deliver an authentic Flan experience in every silky-sweet bite. Next time, make Trader Joe’s Caramel Flan your Flan A!"
