Cal's Grand Flan is a traditional dessert that originated in France and has since become a popular treat in many countries around the world. The custard-based dessert is made with simple ingredients like eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and caramel. It is a great dessert to serve at dinner parties, holidays, or any special occasion. The contrast between the soft and creamy custard and the crunchy caramel makes it a dessert that everyone is sure to enjoy.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
2.	Heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until it turns into a dark amber color, swirling occasionally.
3.	Quickly and carefully pour the hot caramel into a 9-inch (23cm) round baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
4.	In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until light and frothy.
5.	Add the milk, heavy cream, sugar, Grand Marnier, and orange rind, whisking until well combined.
6.	Pour the mixture over the caramel-coated dish.
7.	Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set.
8.	Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a large serving platter.
9.	Slice and serve warm or chilled, preferably with a dollop of whipped cream.
