Flan and Creme Caramel
There are actually two types of flan: one is a tart pastry filled with a fruit or cream mixture; the other is a form of egg custard made in a mold. It's a wonderful dessert that comes to us from Spain and is served cold, usually with a caramel sauce. This type of custard is also commonly known as creme caramel, but the custard can be flavored with other ingredients as well.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
