Leche Flan

Leche Flan is a creamy custard with caramelized sugar top.

Filipino leche flan recipe uses both evaporated and condensed canned milks aside from the usual ingredient of eggs, sugar and vanilla

The dessert Flan, also known as Caramel Creme, is of Spanish origin.

It is quite popular in South and Central America and done just like our Flan.

Traditionally, a llanera, which is an oval shaped aluminum tin pan is used.

The custard is flavored with vanilla extract or lime/lemon zest, then cooked in a steamer on the stove top or in a bain-marie inside the oven.

Caramelized sugar or arnibal is first made at the bottom of the pan before pouring in the custard mixture.

This process gives the custard the caramelized top because it is flipped like an upside down cake when served.

Leche flan is a favourite and popular dessert in the Philippines. It is similar to a cream caramel. It is sweet and rich. Leche flan is a must during Christmas, New Year and fiestas.
