50 Classic & Creative Flan Recipes - Easy Homemade Dessert Ideas for Parties, Holidays & Family Gatherings

Flans are a new trend sweeping Paris and other European cities: a pastry crust base topped with a cream filling and baked, very much like the British custard tart.

Author Ju Chamalo, a home baking enthusiast who has collaborated here with a Paris bakery and several pastry chefs, presents 50 recipes for sweet and savory flans. Beyond iconic classics such as vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, he offers his own creations. Some involve flavoring the filling itself, while others depend on imaginative toppings.

For example:

• Hazelnut Almond Praline

• Ardechois (chestnut and vanilla)

• Vanilla Strawberry Pistachio

• Passion Fruit Raspberry

• Caramel and Roasted Coffee

Will flans be the next macarons?
