I tried two variations of this recipe, one with condensed milk, and one substituting that with heavy cream. This recipe works for both (you just need to add 1/3 cup sugar to the custard). What I'm most impressed with is the cooking method. It cooks evenly and thoroughly. I think I overdid the original version's time, but it was still delicious. This may not be a pretty flan, but I found myself fighting going back for immediate seconds!
