Not even close
Nope, not even close. Flan is made of sugar, vanilla, eggs, evaporated and condensed milk
Southern bread pudding might be closer to tres leches imo
Nope but maybe capirotada is
The picture is chocoflan. Chocolate cake with flan. Regular Flan has no bread (or flour) whatsoever.
Budin and capirotada are both bread puddings, I’d say budin is closer. But no flan is completely different from both.
They are similar in one way, they are both custards. With flan, a custard is poured over caramelized sugar and then baked. Bread pudding on the other hand is made by pouring the custard over stale bread and other fillings before baking. The creamy custard texture is probably what you’re picking up on, although it is much more firm in bread pudding.
If you had flan that had a texture like bread pudding, you had a poorly made flan that curdled during the cooking process.
I love bread pudding, and I love good flan. I hate bad flan, which can reasonably be compared to a super, super eggy bread pudding (sans bread).
They are different types of dessert.
Eso se llama pastel imposible o chocoflan, es muy común aquí y es relativamente sencillo de hacer. Por cierto el pudín de pan y el flan son completamente diferentes, el flan es casi puro huevo y el pudín de pan se hace pues con pan. Saben y son diferentes.
I’ve had the chocolate came flying combo it’s pretty good. But flying by itself is more custardy.
Flan has no bread.
It’s more like Italian pana cotta.
Noooooooo.
Kys for asking that dumb question
No
No it’s closer to pudding. Think of it as a pudding cake.
as a southerner, not at all. flan has 5 ingredients (3 types of milk, eggs, vanilla), all wet. bread pudding requires dry/solid ingredients like bread, and additional mix-ins are welcome. my nan used to love adding raisins and cinnamon. no such things exist in flan, what’s in ur picture is a fusion dessert called chocoflan (chocolate cake and flan).
