Very easy to make. It was too sweet and too heavy.

This is the first time I tried making Flan. I had just made an angel food cake and wanted to use up the egg yolks so I tried this recipe. I too found the flan to be VERY sweet and I like sweet things. It also tasted quite eggy and not like the flan I remember. I think I will look for another recipe next time.

My daughter made a chocolate angel food cake and I had 10 yolks to use up, so this fit the bill. I thought the flan was a little on the heavy side, though.

This is so good! Only change I made is to add 1 teas of vanilla. I discovered this recipe because I was looking for something to make using the 10-11 egg yolks leftover from making an Angel Food Cake with 11 egg whites. This fits the bill! Plus, my dinner guests absolutely love it!!! Thank you for sharing.

My two year old hit the nail on the head when he said with a mouth full of this flan, "MMM! Delicious!"

This was pretty good. I really liked the caramel made from brown sugar instead of white. I baked my in the oven in a water bath like other reviewers. I think 60 minutes was just a bit too long. Next time I will check it at 50-55 min.

This was wonderful! My guests loved it and so did I and it was very easy to do. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.

Okay, my flan after 2.5hrs, is just now set...dissapointing. I think I will just use a water bath in the oven for now on. BUT, the texture is perfect. I think it's due to the egg yolks being used without any whites. I will use this recipe for the custard part, but make traditional caramel with white sugar (no butter, that can make it taste too sweet), and bake in oven in the future.

This is almost exactly the way my mom's family would make flan when she was growing up! We call it Leche Flan in the Philippines, and usually 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract is added. No big deal though, I just added that and steamed it as the recipe says. I used a large pot that would hold the pie plate and filled it with boiling water about halfway up. The flan was fabulous. Rich and creamy...everything a flan should be!

Tired this recipe on the oven; turned out very good, not as sweet as some others claim, just right! Not the best Flan I've tasted but it was my first one I've baked. Very good!
