Precious Family Moments Celebrations & Kefir Caramel Flan Recipe!
I love this time of year! The hustle and bustle of the school year has finally ended and we are able to spend time together relaxing and making new family memories. Just because Summer is here, it doesn’t mean that our schedule has become less active, oh no! Not only is our family enjoying new experiences & discovering new places, but this summer our family is also expanding, NOT me! 🙂 My younger sister is welcoming a new member to her family and this means that we are in the midst of full on celebrations & preparations.
This weekend, we finally had the opportunity to reunite and celebrate my sister’s new bundle of joy with a small girl’s get together. We had an amazing time sharing parenting anecdotes, tips and of course catching up on our daily lives. What is the best part of a celebration? Food! Not only we enjoyed the time together but we also enjoyed delicious Latin American food. Inspired by this celebration I decided to make my version of Kefir Caramel Flan. My Kefir Caramel Flan recipe is simple, it is quick to prepared and delicious. My Kefir Caramel flan has a sweet almost cheesy texture to it, perfect with a cafecito con leche (coffee with milk).

- 3/4 cup sugar

Set Kefir Caramel Flan custard baking dish in a another longer & deeper baking dish. Pour hot water into the second baking dish until it reaches half way up the side of the custard baking dish.
