Hola, amigas!
We are having company for dinner... a Mexican themed dinner... and a muy competitivo game of Mexican Train dominoes!
To end the meal, I have a very yummy dessert planned. Muy delicioso... creamy custard, caramel and Kahlua...
FLAN...
Mexican Train Flan With Kahlua
Flan is a beautiful baked custard with a sugary sweet caramel sauce built in!
I love flan, but had never made it myself. I always thought it was a little intimidating. I checked out a few recipes on line and finally deferred to my favorite go-to expert... Martha Stewart ( my other favs are Ina Garten and Julia Child).
Flan is actually quite easy and rewarding! Although none of the techniques to make flan were new to me I opted to watch the video on Martha's recipe site... and picked up some great tips! To see the recipe and a very helpful video, click HERE
I gave the flans a "kick" by drizzling a tablespoon of Kahula over the top of each of then before serving. OLE'!
Visit Martha to get the recipe for these creamy sweet treats... PERFECTO!
