If you’re craving a dessert that’s light, creamy, and quick to prepare, this Simple Cornstarch Flan is your go-to recipe. Unlike traditional flans that require eggs, baking in water baths, and precise timing, this version uses cornstarch as a thickening agent for an easy, fuss-free preparation. The result? A silky, smooth flan with a delicate texture that melts in your mouth.
Why Choose Cornstarch Flan?
Traditional flans rely on eggs to set the custard, which can be tricky and time-consuming. Cornstarch offers a faster way to achieve that creamy consistency without compromising flavor or texture. It thickens the milk and sugar mixture just right, giving you a flan that’s light yet satisfyingly creamy — perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a simple sweet treat.
Ingredients
Milk (whole milk or a combination of milk and cream for extra richness)
Sugar
Cornstarch
Vanilla extract (for aroma and subtle flavor)
Optional: caramel sauce for topping
