What is the difference between Creme Caramel and Flan?
While Creme Caramel is very similar to Spanish Flan, the biggest difference is the milk. Flan is made with sweetened canned milk and Creme Caramel just has regular milk. Parisian Flan is much different than this custard treat, it has a compact custard base made with flour that's baked in a flaky pie crust and sold by the slice, similar to cheesecake.
