This was a really simple recipe and turned out perfectly. The only thing I had trouble with was that the caramelized sugar wouldn't stick to my nonstick baking pan. But when it was finished, it was fine. It isn't my favorite dessert, but I think that is just personal preference and not the recipe. I expected a creamier texture, more similar to creme brulee, but it was more quiche-like in texture. I should have guessed that I suppose.

Had no sweetened condensed milk and substituted evaporated milk in its place, along with 1/4 cup or so of sugar to sweeten the milk. It was still so delicious that I ate the whole thing in 1 day. Will be trying it with the condensed milk just to compare. Thank you for this recipe. Glad that it uses a lot of egg whites as opposed to all whole eggs. A GREAT ONE!! Flan is my weakness!!!

Wonderful! Light but still rich enough! Very easy to make, no problems at all! Can't tell it's low-fat at all (I used normal condensed milk).

1 used a can of NON-FAT sweetened condensed milk because I couldn't find the low-fat. It was so rich and creamy, you didn't miss the fat. Also, I accidentally cooked longer than 1 hour and it still came out great. Next time I think I'll add a little coffee flavor to the flan, just for variety. Everyone at work LOVED this recipe! We ate the whole thing in 1 day!

This was really delicious and so easy. The texture could have been just a bit creamier, but the taste was heavenly. The caramel sauce took on a nice, maple-syrupy flavor. The presentation was lovely as well. Definitely a keeper.

We got back from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico six days ago where we thought we had eaten the nicest, freshest, creamiest Spanish flan ever. This recipe showded up in my weekly AllRecipes newsletter, so thought I would give it a try. Wow, was this easy and delicious. Wish I could give it 10 stars. So easy to make, and my wife was very proud of me !!

Wow, what a great recipe! Caramel flan is my favorite dessert, so I am always eager to try a new recipe. I used regular sweetened condensed milk and forgot the salt, but it turned out perfect! Everyone loved it. A little firmer than other versions that use normal milk. Cooking time was perfect, resist the temptation to keep cooking until firm! As note says, should still be jiggly when it comes out of oven...will firm up as it cools.

Made this recipe as is and even forgot to get it out when the oven timer went off. It ended up in there for an extra half hour but was very forgiving and had no problems with it! My entire family loved it and we'd all given up flan as being too rich with the heavy cream and too cholesterol-laden with the whole eggs the usual recipe calls for. This was a welcome "light" version that didn't sacrifce any taste. Very mild and creamy vanilla -- mmm!

This was a great recipe however I had never carmelized sugar before and found it very difficult to work with. But, I served this for a dinner party and my guests loved it. The only suggestion I would have is is to use a whole cup of sugar as 3/4 cup was not enough for me. Overall, it was a nice dessert that I will make again.

WOW! I made this for a dinner party last night and people raved. They could not believe how creamy and smooth this turned out considering the low-fat ingredients. People even spooned out the last of the caramel from the dish once the flan was finished. It was a cinch to make. Definitely a keeper--thanks for an amazing recipe.

Very easy to do and healthy too! I was expecting a smooth custard consistency and apparently it didn't turn out to be that way (probably because this recipe used more egg whites than egg yolk). But the taste was yummy. I will definetely make this again for my next party.

This flan is absolutely delicious! My girlfriend is Puerto Rican and loves flan. She always buys the flan that you make from a box, so I decided I would TRY to make this recipe. It was SO easy and SO delicious! My girlfriend loved it and I make this AT LEAST twice a week! Thank you for this fabulous recipe; I wouldn't change a thing!
