Flan in Moscato Wine Sauce #SundaySupper

By 24 Comments

Flan with Moscato Sauce #SundaySupper I can remember waking up on Saturday mornings to the sweet smell of caramel coming from the kitchen. It was the most wonderful smell to wake up to. Hearing the sound of the mixer whirling as this amazing smell made it’s way into my room could only mean one thing. I immediately knew that my mother was making Pudim de Flan and most likely would be inviting our Portuguese friends over for Sunday Supper.

Sunday Supper, was almost always served by 3 o’clock. When my American friends would ask, why do you eat so early, we chalked it up to “It’s a Portuguese Thing.” We were always certain that there would be a delicious dessert served after Sunday Supper and there was a 50-50 chance that it would be Flan Pudding or Rice Pudding.

My mother would almost always prepare the Pudims one day ahead of time and serve them cold. I loved to eat them when they were still piping hot and would always beg to have her make them in small ramekins — that way, I wouldn’t have to wait to dig in.

My four children grew up anticipating that when we visit Vo-Vo’s house, there will most likely be a Flan Pudding in the fridge waiting for them. As they like to say, no one makes Flan like Vo-Vo does. When I tried this new spin on the traditional Portuguese Flan, I was a little hesitant to share it with my family for fear that it wouldn’t meet the Vo-Vo seal of approval.

Flan with Moscato SauceWhile it will never compare to Vo-Vo’s Flan, we have fallen in love with Flan in Moscato Wine Sauce at our house. The biggest difference in this Flan in Moscato Wine Sauce is that it is baked in the oven and the caramel sauce is made even more delicious by the sweet Moscato Wine. Now, I must make this for Vo-Vo and Vo and see if they approve!

  1. Your flan is gorgeous! I love how simple it is, and the Moscato wine sauce really adds something special. I’m looking forward to making this!

  6. Ok, I really do not like flan…the texture just doesn’t do it for me, but yours looks so pretty it makes me wish I did like it. I’d just use a spoon and eat all the Moscato wine sauce around it 🙂

  7. I think I need to try Vo-Vo’s flan. My mom likes to think she makes the best flan around and is always comparing hers to restaurants. But I’m thinking Vo-Vo might give her a run for her money.
    I love the sweet wine glaze on yours, yummy!
