Leche Flan is a dessert made-up of eggs and milk with a soft caramel on top. It resembles crème caramel and caramel custard. This delicious dessert is known throughout the world.It has been a regular item in the menu of most restaurants because of its taste, ease in preparation and long shelf life. It can also be added as a component to build other great tasting dessert creations.
Leche Flan is the top dessert in the Philippines. The dining table won’t be complete without it especially during celebrations such as parties and town fiestas. I remember the Leche Flan that my Lola Belen makes when I was still living in Las Pinas. It really tasted so rich and heavenly. Everyone in our clan always request her to prepare it during special occasions. I’m lucky because my wife knows how to do a good one too. This is actually her recipe. If I did it my way, you might be having Leche Flan that tastes like Egg Pie instead.
We were trying to search for a llanera or the oblong shape tin container that is normally used to make Flan in the Philippines, but we cannot find one from our local stores. We ended up getting a round baking pan online. It was worth it though, and we were able to make many delicious cake varieties from it too.
