Leche flan

   
  A rich custard made of egg yolks with a layer of soft caramel on top (as opposed to creme brulee, which has a hard caramel top). Sometimes sliced and added to other desserts such as halo-halo.

Ingredients:

10 pieces raw eggs
1 small can condensed milk
1 cup fresh milk (or evaporated milk)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

How to Cook:

  • Using all the eggs, separate the yolk from the egg white (only egg yolks will be used).
  • Place the egg yolks in a big bowl then beat them using a fork or an egg beater
  • Add the condensed milk and mix thoroughly
  • Pour-in the fresh milk and mix well
  • Put the mold (llanera container mold) on top of the stove and heat using low fire
  • Put-in the granulated sugar on the mold and mix thoroughly until the solid sugar turns into liquid (caramel) having a light brown color
  • Spread the caramel (liquid sugar) evenly on the flat side of the mold
  • Wait for 5 minutes then pour the egg yolk and milk mixture on the mold
  • Cover the top of the mold using an Aluminum foil
  • Steam the mold with egg and milk mixture for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • After steaming, let the temperature cool down then refrigerate
  • Taste and Enjoy.
