Creme Caramel is basically a caramel custard. It's a famous recipe from France which is known all over the world.

Caramel Custard or Crème caramel, is a rich custard dessert with a layer of soft caramel on top. Also known as a flan in France.

It is well known not just in France but all over the world. Probably due to it's simplcity.

It is normally flavoured with vanilla but you can add all sorts of flavourings to your own taste.

Coconut goes down well with the boys and when I add fruit it makes it extra special.
