What is flan topping?

Flan is a custard dessert topped with a layer of caramel sauce. The sauce is typically made by melting sugar in a pan until it becomes browned and then adding water or cream. Some recipes also include butter, vanilla extract, or salt.

Caramel sauce is an essential component of flan as it provides a contrasting flavor and texture to the soft and creamy custard base. Flan is not complete without its signature layer of caramel so the topping is what makes the dessert delicious and perfect.
