Leche! … Flan

Leche Flan, originally uploaded by Flipped Out.

If there is a dessert that’s considered a national dessert of the Philippines, this is probably it.

It is very delicious, easy to do and quite versatile really.

My rule:

12 egg yolks, 1 can condensed milk, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 tbsp. vanilla.

If you worry about cholesterol, then use 6 eggs (including white).

Follow steps in the picture.

Because condensed milk is sweet enough, I don’t use sugar anymore, but if you want it sweeter, by all means, add a cup or half a cup of sugar.

Also, you can play around with the flavoring. For example, instead of vanilla, try mint (spearmint or peppermint) or lemon. You can also add a cup of mashed boiled kalabasa (pumpkin) and see how that works.
