Karamelrand

A Danish take on the classic crème caramel flan, karamelrand supposedly dates back to the 1700s when the first recipes were found published in the old Danish cookbooks under the name brændt craim (lit. burnt cream).

This cream- and egg-based custard is flavored with caramel and served chilled, doused in caramel sauce. Karamelrand is typically wheel-shaped, hence the name which translates to caramel rim. Another traditional variation is the so-called fløderand — a custard pudding flavored with vanilla and served with pickled fruit instead of caramel sauce.
