Creme Caramel Flan
Custard inverted over amber caramel, the flan that ends Latin dinners. Silky and spoonable, with a clean, comforting sweetness. Make it a day ahead — it only improves overnight.

Chef's tip
Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
