Flan is one of the most simple desserts to make. It may look a bit intimidating but it’s so easy to make. I dislike giggly flan with a strong taste of egg. That’s why I normally make flavored ones like this one, coconut, pumpkin, etc. If I’m making plain, I always add cream cheese.
If you like guava you will certainly enjoy this. It’s one of my favorite desserts. Perfect for the holidays. Your family will devour this.
