Today is “National Chilean Cuisine Day”, and I think this Easy Dulce de Leche Flan is a classic Chilean dessert perfect for celebrating. I always loved it and it is delicious. It brings so many happy memories from my aunt’s place, where fruits was never an acceptable dessert… (old times).
What I love about this dessert is that I usually have all the ingredients at home, so if I have guests for dinner I can do it in the morning and it’ll be perfectly cold at night.
