Photographer Romulo Yanes lets the requisite caramel sauce in this vanilla-flecked flan go a shade darker for a faint bitter edge that cuts through the dense, sweet custard. For a distinctly Cuban touch, he tops the flan with a rum-spiked whipped cream.

3 cups whole milk
1 (14-ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped, or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
