I just did a quick Google search for 'spanish desserts' and found these recipes. Hope they help :)
Almond Cakes
4 eggs
9 oz blanched peeled almonds
4 oz sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
Cinnamon
1/4 cup flaked almonds
Butter and flour to grease the pans
Preparation:
Grind the almonds in an electric grinder with a little sugar to prevent them from going oily. With an electric beater, beat the eggs with the rest of the sugar until light and fluffy. (If done by hand, first beat the yolks with the sugar, add the almonds, etc. and finally the egg whites beaten stiff.) Add the cinnamon and lemon zest then gently fold in the ground almonds. Grease and dust with flour 6-8 individual tart pans; fill them with the mixture and sprinkle with almonds flakes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove from the pans while hot and leave to cool.
Churros
17 fl oz water
9 oz sifted flour
1 tsp salt
Plenty of oil for frying
Sugar (optional)
Preparation:
Bring the salted water to a boil in a high-sided pot. When it starts to boil, pour in all the flour and mix with a wooden spatula over the heat until a consistent, even dough is formed. Remove from the heat and continue to work the dough with the same spatula. When completely smooth, fill the churrera, a large tin or brass syringe that has a variety of nozzles and several handles to grip it while pressing the dough through.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a large frying pan and drop in strips of dough forming loops. Cook as many as will fit without touching each other. After 3-4 minutes, when golden, remove with a slotted spoon or a spike and leave to drain in a colander or on kitchen paper. Serve hot, sprinkled with sugar if desired.
Natilla
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup fine sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in 3 tbsp water
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
Dash of salt
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, mix the milk, dissolved cornstarch, salt, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and egg yolk until smooth. Cook uncovered over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove immediately and pour through a thin strainer into individual dessert cups.
Refrigerate and serve chilled in dessert cups.
Rice Pudding
3 - 3/4 cups cooked white rice
2 - 1/2 cups fine sugar
6 tbsp butter
6 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
5 eggs, beaten
3 tbsp Spanish brandy
Dash of salt
Preparation:
In a large saucepan, heat the milk, rice and butter over medium heat for 5 minutes, taking care not to overboil.
In a small bowl, mix the eggs, sugar and salt until smooth. Add the brandy and the egg mixture to rice and mix well until thickened. Transfer the mixture to a baking pan and place pan inside a larger pan containing about 1 inch of water. Bake at 350 F for about 1 hour or until done.
Remove pan from the water and allow to cool. Chill at least one hour before serving.
Serve in individual dessert bowls. Raisins or other dried fruit can be added for flavor.

Like, do you mean flan? Sort of a custardlike dessert with caramel on top? Very famous, and can be made either with a vanilla flavor, coffee or even orange-flavored, which is wonderful with the caramel...I am sure there are lots of good recipes online. I don't have a Spanish cookbook, but flan is popular in Mexico as well as Spain and have lots of Mexican cookbooks with recipes - and you could run in a bookstore, look in the dessert section of any Spanish or Mexican cookbook and probably find a decent recipe. (It uses no gelatin, and is mostly eggs, milk or cream, sugar and a vanilla bean and/or whatever the other flavoring is....there's a nondairy version that uses just orange juice instead of the milk and I found that one recently in a Sephardic cookbook...) ... One of the most famous Mexican desserts is pastel tres leches ("three milks" cake often soaked in rum) and I do not know if they eat that in Span...
Famous non-dessert Spanish dishes include tortilla espanola and gazpacho...

Not really a dessert, but more of a snack...
Sopapillas are a kind of (fried) bread, served with honey - or dusted with powdered sugar.
