💡 Flan Tips & Serving Suggestions

• Smooth texture: Strain the custard through a sieve before baking to ensure a silky finish.
• Water bath tip: Use hot water and fill the outer pan halfway up the sides of the flan dish for even baking.
• Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 3–4 days for best texture and flavor.
• Serving idea: Garnish with berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of espresso powder (for coffee flan).

Each variation of flan brings its own unique flavor twist while maintaining the signature smooth and creamy texture. Whether you go for classic elegance, coconut sweetness, bold coffee, or deep chocolate, you’re guaranteed a show-stopping dessert every time. 🍮
