To prepare, you will typically combine the flan mix with milk and eggs, whisking until smooth. This mixture is then poured into a mold that has been coated with the included caramel sauce. The flan is baked or cooked on the stovetop until set, then chilled thoroughly. Once cooled, it is inverted onto a serving plate, allowing the rich caramel sauce to cascade over the custard, creating a beautiful and delicious dessert.
