Flan de Naranja or Orange flan is a variation of the traditional Spanish flan, a vanilla custard topped with caramel sauce. This dish is made with half-and-half, so it is lighter, but has an intense orange flavor that surprises. It refreshes the palate as well as satisfying that sweet tooth. It is a fairly simple recipe that can be made ahead of time and makes an elegant finish to any meal. Why not try it for Mother’s Day?
