Mouth-watering Leche Flan

So, I woke up early today to make "leche" flan. Leche flan is a popular Filipino dessert made of eggs and milk, drenched in caramel sauce. I was inspired to make the dessert after I visited my Filipino friend last week. She made yummy leche flan and was motivated to do some for my husband.

Actually, it's very easy to make. All you need are:

1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
6 pcs egg yolks
aluminum bakeware pan/molds
steamer (make sure that the pan/mold you will use fits on the steamer)
aluminum foils

Preparation instructions:

1. Make the caramel sauce using white sugar and butter (optional). Here's a great video of Chef Gordon Ramsay on How to Make a Caramel.

2. Preheat oven to 350°. Put steamer in the oven.

3. Mix thoroughly the milk and eggs. Pour the caramel sauce in the pan/mold. Slowly pour in the mixture on top of the caramel sauce. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.

4. Bake up to 1 hour, or until the flan is cooked.


5. Let it cool down. Use a big plate or tray to flip over the flan. To do this, put the plate/tray on top of the pan, then turn upside down—exposing the luscious caramel sauce.

Bon appetit!
