Caramel Custard Flan Cupcakes

Sharing is caring!

These Caramel Custard Flan Cupcakes are a fun dessert and go nicely with a Mexican dish.

I am a cupcake fanatic. I do not make them as often as I used to because I found out as you got older, it is not so easy to fit into your clothes if you eat too many cupcakes. But this one is still a favorite to make.

These little cupcakes have a caramel drizzle on top so there is no need for traditional frosting.

These are especially fun for a sweet dessert or for a fiesta!

How to Make Flan Cupcakes

I used a yellow cake mix to simplify making this fun and sweet dessert. The subtle taste of custard blends nicely with the caramel topping.

You start by making the caramel topping.

Then you fill the cupcake pan.

The caramel goes in first because it will be the topping when cupcakes are inverted.

Then comes the custard filling, followed by the cake mix.

Once they bake, they will look like traditional cupcakes.

Until they are inverted.
