About the Recipe: This recipe is Chef Jose Garces’s mother’s favorite. The dessert is thick, very creamy with a soft breeze of citrus and is topped with melting caramelized sugar. We garnished the flan with a ring of soft sweetened cranberries and thin wedges of tender apples. It’s a perfect recipe to serve for the holidays.
