Mexican flan and Vietnamese flan may appear similar as creamy custard desserts, but they have a few distinct differences. Mexican flan boasts a rich vanilla flavor accompanied by a deep caramel topping. On the other hand, Vietnamese Banh Flan incorporates coconut milk, and sometimes pandan, infusing subtle flavors that add a unique Southeast Asian twist to the classic custard taste. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTexture-wise, Mexican flan is renowned for its smooth and silky consistency made with evaporated milk, while Vietnamese Banh Flan, like many other starchy Vietnamese desserts, tends to be slightly firmer and denser. The caramelization process also sets them apart, with Mexican flan featuring a darker and deeper caramel layer compared to the lighter caramel found in Vietnamese Banh Flan. Mexican flan is often served in larger round molds or ramekins, while Vietnamese Banh Flan is traditionally presented in smaller, individual-sized ramekins or molds.
