Leche flan, it's almost like creme caramel but made in the Philippines, in short, this is our local version. It's a creamy and rich caramel that contains caramel on top. We have also our very own molder for this, and this is what we called, "llanera" it is an oval shaped metal. This kind of dessert is famous and is always present in almost all occasions here in the Philippines. Every family that is celebrating a feast or birthday, they always offer this yummy dessert. Let's do it guys! Enjoy! :)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
350 ml evaporated milk
250 ml condensed milk
8 pcs egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
First step:
Heat the water and sugar until you form a golden brown mixture or a caramel. Then, put some of the caramel to the molder that you're using and coat the inside walls and let it dry.
Second step:
Whisk the egg yolk while gradually pouring the condensed and evaporated milk. Add the vanilla extract.
Do not over mix it, because the mixture will be to foamy. When it's done, strain the mixture twice to get rid of the lumps. After straining it, you can now pour it into the molder with caramel. You can cook it in an oven for 30-40 minutes, but you have to put it in and baking tray with water. If you don't have oven, you can use a steamer instead and cook it for about 40 minutes to 1 hour. You will know when the leche flan is done, when you use a toothpick or a knife, you just have to stitch it and if it's clean, then it is well done. Let it cool, and when you're done cooling, turn it upside down in a plate.
