Questions

Can I make Flan de Caramelo dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 12 oz evaporated milk. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product; the evaporated milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Flan de Caramelo keep?

Store it airtight: two to three days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated. It freezes for up to two months; thaw at room temperature.

Can I halve or double Flan de Caramelo?

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
