I made this using fresh blueberries, and it was incredibly delicious! It was the end to a wonderful Mexican dinner for us! This recipe is so easy to prepare and the results are well worth the time it takes to prepare and make it. So creamy and delicious, and the fruit just puts it over the edge. Definately 5+stars for this one. If you like custards, puddings, flan or creme brulee, this is the recipe to try right here! Thank you for sharing Ellie!

Ellie, Ellie, Ellie!!! This is incredible!! I love the raspberries with the flan! This is such a simple recipe producing such wonderful results : ) I am a custard lover. I love egg custard, creme brulee, and anything to do with custard. This recipe stands head and shoulders above most recipes I've tried! I made this into individual serving sized portions. Dan'l says, "More Than The Usual 5 Stars"!! I only wish I could give more than the usual 5 for this one! Thank you, Ellie!!
