Today is October 14th and it’s National Dessert Day! Americans take dessert very serious! Any time there’s a celebration, what’s the biggest part of a party?! The dessert ofcourse. Have you seen that meme going around that says: “There’s always room for dessert” well... it proves true for me. 90 percent of the time I dine out, I end up ordering dessert. And you know what?! I’m not ashamed of those statistics! I’ll skip the coffee and go straight for the cake. Somehow I narrowed down what my favorite dessert is. And no, it’s not chocolate cake. Nor cheesecake. It’s flan. Yes, my favorite (over tiramisu) dessert is delicious yummy flan. For those of you reading this that do not know what “flan” is, let me break it down for you. Flan is a custard dish. If it’s Spanish style (which is my favorite) it’s egg based, sweet, soft, caramel gooey and served cold. It looks like a tart but once you bite down on it you’ll immediately recognize the eggy custard consistency.I often enjoy it alone but adding fruit like raspberries or blackberries add a tartness which contrasts with the sweetness. I don’t know if it’s my Caribbean roots but I gravitate to this dish. It’s very comforting and I can never say no to it. What’s your favorite dessert? What floats your boat after dinner?
