You can use any kind of cream...low fat or full fat or you can even use whole milk. Sometimes when I make flan, I only use whole milk, other times I use equal quantity of milk and half n half creamcream and other times just half n half cream. Every time it came out great. Just make sure whatever cream you use is in liquid form and not whipped or thickened one...
