The dark chocolate offers a delightful twist on the original and does best when combined with fresh berries, caramel sauce & extra chocolate, adding a luxurious flavor to the flan. Original vanilla flan is still incredibly popular and consists of vanilla egg custard topped with a caramel sauce. The variations of this classic dessert have evolved as a result of the many different food types and taste options available today in local markets. The Mexicans, particularly, made flan a part of their everyday food. Flan was adopted as an international dessert of the “La Raza” movement by Latinos, Central Americans & North Americans alike. The Europeans brought flan with them as they did with other treasures when they arrived in America. On the other hand, flan has mostly remained the same egg, cream & sugar mixture over the years. The Moors assisted with some flavorings still used today, such as citrus fruits and almonds. Caramelized sugar was added to the dish as a testament to refined Spanish ingenuity. In the new European culture, flan has become a formidable force. Today, the dessert has evolved into something sweet. The word flan is the French equivalent of the Latin word fladon, which comes from the Old High German word “flado,” meaning “flat cake.” Flan was once a savory dish, usually made from fish or meat. The Roman Empire is the true origin of this dessert. As the Romans had done, when the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés landed in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula in 1518, they brought flan with them. The Spanish loved this dessert the most among all countries and they added caramel sauce to it. When the Roman Empire fell in 476 CE, flan survived and became the sweet delicacy that gripped the newly conquered lands. Rome conquered Europe entirely, taking its customs, beliefs & recipes. The dessert came with many savory variations including eel flavored with pepper and honey, which was the sole sweetener at that time. Due to the Mexican’s heavy influence on the recipe evolved there and became today’s sweet staple. The Spaniards took it to America, where it became a delicacy.
The flan’s history is traced back to ancient Rome when egg surpluses were transformed into custards to produce both sweet and savory tastes. It’s one of those delicacies that are irresistible and once you try it, you can’t stop eating it. Flan is a popular dessert in Spain and Latin America, also known as creme caramel due to its indulgent custard base topped with delicious caramel.
