What is Mexican flan?
Mexican flan is an egg, milk and sugar custard topped with caramel, creamy and firm at the same time. The homemade recipe uses sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla, cooked in a water bath. Flan mix is the shortcut: you make it with milk following the package and chill it until it sets.
Here you'll find D'Gari Flan de Vainilla and Flan en Polvo Vainilla, plus Pronto flan in vanilla and in vanilla with caramel.
What kinds of Mexican gelatina are there?
There are water-based gelatinas, milk gelatinas and unflavored gelatin for your own recipes. D'Gari makes gelatin powder in strawberry, pineapple, lime, peach, cherry, grape and sweetened condensed milk, a clear Cristalina pineapple, and milk gelatinas in rompope and strawberry. There's also its Sin Azúcar line (strawberry with milk, pineapple, mango, lime, orange, peach and rompope), and Pronto has its Light gelatina in pineapple and orange.
For your own recipes, unflavored gelatin: Knox in envelopes and D'Gari in powder.
The dessert of every Mexican party
Gelatina is the dessert of Mexican parties: in little cups at birthdays, rompope flavored in December and mosaic gelatina at family get-togethers. Mosaic gelatina is made with cubes of colorful gelatin set inside a milk gelatina firmed up with unflavored gelatin. Flan, meanwhile, fits any after-dinner table. At MexGoodies everything ships anywhere in the U.S. in 3 to 7 days (Canada too).
Frequently asked questions
How do you make Mexican flan?
Homemade flan uses sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla, in a caramel-lined mold cooked in a water bath. For something quicker, D'Gari or Pronto flan mix is made with milk following the package and chilled until it sets.
What's the difference between gelatina and grenetina?
Grenetina is unflavored, colorless gelatin used to set desserts like milk gelatina, mosaic gelatina or no-bake pies, and you bloom it in cold water before dissolving it in something hot. Gelatin powder already has flavor and color, and you make it straight with water or milk following the package.
Where can I buy Mexican flan mix and gelatina in the U.S. or Canada?
At MexGoodies: D'Gari and Pronto flan mix and gelatinas, plus Knox and D'Gari unflavored gelatin, shipped anywhere in the U.S. in 3 to 7 days and to Canada in 6 to 12 business days plus customs time.
