This was great. Almost as good as my mom's flan.

I wasn't so lucky with this recipe. I was looking forward to a smooth, firm custard but my flan was not smooth, it was coarse and too too sweet. The caramel stuck to the pan so perhaps mixing with some water while melting would have helped or cutting down on the sugar would be wise since so much of it is left behind in the pan. I didn't try the cheesecake version and I poured the mixture into the pan only when the caramel had cooled.

I have this same recipe from a cuban cookbook -- it's FANTASTIC and genuine. It cuts well, yet is creamy. One of a kind experience! One hint for those who have a problem with it (such as the person who found it crumbly) -- switch the steps in the recipe. First caramelize the sugar and pour into the pan, then allow it to cool -- that way the eggs will not curdle upon being poured into the pan.

This is exactly what I was looking for, an authentic mexican dessert. My friend, who is from Costa Rica, once made this dish and it is strikingly similar to this recipe! I would make this again and again!

This recipe was awesome! I cooked it for about ten minutes less than the recipe called for. I used cream cheese in it. It was crazy good. It was very easy too. I just didn't know how to get the crunchy glaze out of the pan. I guess hot water would release it. I also wasn't sure whether to cover it or not, I didn't cover it. My husband took it to work to true Mexicans. I shouldn't have been nervous about it, they loved it. I will make it over and over again. Fabulous!!!!!!

Growing up in a mexican family everyone is so picky about traditional mexican dishes. I made this last night and it came out delicious, next time I'm going to try it with the cream cheese. Thank you!

I tried this recipe tonight but it didn't come out as real flan should. It came out crumbly instead of soft. I will not be making this flan again.

I have tried flan on several occassions and have not been too crazy about it. This recipe is awesome!!! My kids loved it.We used the cream cheese version and my oldest daughter compared it to cheesecake. This recipe is worth making. Very little prep time.

So excited to find this wonderful recipe again, that was recently lost. When the cream cheese is added it creates a wonderful texture that adds to this wonderful traditional dish. This has always been a favorite dessert to share with friends, when having a mexican dinner together.

This flan is wonderful except the carmel topping doesn't melt well. It needs water along with the sugar to dissolve.

This was the easiest dessert I have ever made. I was a little confused about the wet towel so I placed the pan of flan inside a larger pan and filled the larger pan until it was at the half mark of the smaller flan pan. Tasted excellent and I received many compliments!
