Flan Mixto Recipe (Argentinian Custard with Dulce de Leche & Cream)

Flan Mixto is a classic Argentinian dessert served with dulce de leche and a dollop of whipped cream. It’s silky, rich, and perfect for celebrations or Sunday family meals.

  • Dulce de leche
  • Whipped cream

How to Make Flan Mixto

1. Make the Caramel

  1. Add sugar and water to a saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat until golden amber.
  3. Immediately pour into a flan mold or ramekins.
  4. Swirl to coat the bottom.

2. Prepare the Custard

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
  2. Warm the milk (do not boil).
  3. Slowly add warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking.
  4. Strain for a smooth texture.

3. Bake the Flan

  1. Pour custard over the caramel.
  2. Place mold in a baking dish filled halfway with hot water (bain-marie).
  3. Bake at 160°C / 320°F for 45–60 minutes.

4. Serve

Unmold carefully and serve with:

Serving Suggestions for Flan Mixto

1. With Dulce de Leche

Serve each slice with a spoonful of rich dulce de leche for the classic Argentinian presentation.

2. Topped with Whipped Cream

Add a light swirl of fresh whipped cream to balance the caramel’s sweetness.

3. Garnished with Fresh Berries

Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries add color, freshness, and a touch of tart flavor.

4. With Caramel Drizzle

Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top for a glossy, dessert-shop look.

5. With Toasted Nuts

Sprinkle toasted almonds, pistachios, or pecans for added crunch and flavor.

FAQs About Flan Mixto

1. What makes it “mixto”?

It is called mixto because it’s served with two toppings: dulce de leche + whipped cream.

2. Can I use only whole milk?

Yes. Evaporated milk adds richness but is optional.

3. Why did my flan crack?

The oven temperature was too high. A gentle bain-marie prevents cracks.

4. How long does flan keep?

Up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

5. Can flan be frozen?

Not recommended — the texture becomes grainy.
