Categories     Cake     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Low Fat

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can fat free sweetened condensed milk
1 can fat free evaporated milk
5 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 8oz package fat free cream cheese
1 cup sugar for caramel
1 can light cherry pie filling (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Pour water into a large baking pan (the baking dish will go inside this water bath). Melt sugar over low heat until it disolves completely and pour it into the baking dish. I use an 8" round Corelle souffle dish. Set aside. Mix all milks, vanilla, eggs and cream cheese in blender or food processor. Pour into prepared baking dish. Put dish in pan with water which should be about half way up the dish. Bake for about 40 mins or until tester comes out clean. Cool for about 30 mins then put in refrigerator overnight. Run knife around dish and shake pan to loosen, invert into a plate, pour cherry pie filling on top. Can also be made doubling recipe and using a bundt pan.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the milk from scorching.
  • Stir the milk constantly to prevent it from curdling.
  • Do not let the milk boil, as this will cause it to curdle.
  • If you are using a vanilla bean, split it in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and the bean pod to the milk.
  • To make a thicker flan, add an extra egg yolk.
  • To make a richer flan, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • For a more caramelized flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will allow it to set properly.

Conclusion:

Leche asada is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great dessert to make for special occasions, or simply to enjoy as a treat. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect leche asada that will impress your friends and family.
