Leche flan

Leche Flan, a beloved Filipino dessert, is renowned for its smooth, custard-like texture and delightful caramel top. This dessert is not only easy to prepare, but it's also versatile, perfect for various occasions, from family gatherings to festive celebrations. To make a traditional Leche Flan, you will need basic ingredients such as eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and sugar for the caramel. Start by preparing the caramel in a pan, allowing the sugar to melt until it turns a golden brown. Pour this mixture into a mold (often a llanera or metal baking dish) and let it cool, forming a delicious topping once the flan is cooked. The custard mixture is prepared by whisking together the eggs, condensed milk, and evaporated milk until smooth. Strain this mixture to ensure a silky texture in your final dessert. Next, pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the mold and steam it on low heat for about an hour, checking for doneness with a toothpick. Allow the flan to cool before refrigerating for a few hours to set properly. When ready to serve, simply run a knife around the edges, invert it onto a plate, and witness the beautiful caramel glaze flowing down. Leche Flan is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes, making it a standout dessert that will leave everyone wanting more.
