How to make creamy leche flan recipe

Most filipinos love this dessert and we do too. my daughter always ask me to make this every other month. the second time i come to visit her and her family she ask me to bring “llanera” (aluminum molding pan) to her so she can have an authentic looking leche flan she told me that they tried to look for it on asian market but cant find it so i brought some and that made her happy.

this filipino dessert (mexicans have their version too – “flan”) is very easy to make just follow my simple direction and you will have a tasty and creamy leche flan.

enjoy!

ingredients:

15 egg yolks

1 can condensed milk

1 can evaporated milk

1/4 cup plus 5 Tbsp sugar (you can add some more depending on your taste)

5 llanera (you can use a 5 mini loaf pans OR 3 8 x 3 7/8 x 2 15/32″ loaf pans OR 8 small ramekin bowls)

steamer

directions:

1. place water in your steamer and wait till it boils.

2. while waiting for your water to boil sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar in each pan and place it in your oven toaster under toaster setting and let it melt but dont burn – set aside and let cool.

3. mix all the left ingredients in a bowl and pour to the pan about 3/4 inch each (or just balance the amount on each pan) cover the top with aluminum foil make sure it is tight to avoid the water vapor goes inside.

4. once your water is boiling place the covered pans in your steamer – lower the heat, simmer for an hour.
