Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the heavy cream with a lighter alternative?
Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with whole milk or a mixture of milk and half-and-half. However, this will change the texture and creaminess of the flan.
How should I store leftover flan, and how long does it last?
Store the leftover flan in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for about 3 to 4 days. Make sure to cover it well to prevent it from absorbing odors.
What can I do if my flan doesn't set properly after baking?
If your flan is still liquid after the baking time, it may need more time in the oven. Check it by inserting a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, return it to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, checking regularly.
