Leche Flan

Leche Flan is the Filipino equivalent to Crème Caramel but because of the higher content of egg yolks, it’s more richer and heavier. Most Filipinos have a sweet tooth and Leche Flan is one of the favorites when it comes to dessert.

Ingredients:

10 egg yolks
1 can (390g) condensed milk
1 can (390g) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Procedure:

1. Get a saucepan and combine the water & sugar, bring to a boil for a few minutes until the sugar is caramelized.
2. Get the aluminum moulds and pour the caramelized sugar, spread the caramel on the bottom of the moulds. 3. Blend well the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks and vanilla.
3. Pour the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum moulds, about 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick.
4. Cover moulds individually with aluminum foil.
5. Steam for about 20 minutes or bake for about 45 minutes. Before baking the Flan, place the moulds on a larger baking pan half filled with very hot water, pre-heat oven to about 370 degrees before baking.
