Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup granulated sugar
12 large egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounce (395 G)
340 g evaporated milk
1 teaspoon lemon extract
6 cups boiling water, for water bath

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the granulated sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts into an amber-colored caramel, 5-6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the sugar is fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the caramel into a 9 x 5-inch (22x12 cm) loaf pan. Let the caramel cool for 5 minutes while you make the custard.
  • Add the egg yolks and condensed milk to a large bowl and whisk to combine, then add the evaporated milk and lemon extract and whisk to incorporate.
  • Pour the custard into the pan with the caramel. Cover the pan with foil.
  • Set the loaf pan in a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish and carefully pour the boiling water into the baking dish, taking care not to splash any into the flan.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the flan is fully set.
  • Remove the flan from the oven, lift the loaf pan from the water bath, and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for overnight.
  • When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the flan, then invert onto a platter, slice, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup water
12 egg yolks
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Caramel:.
  • Put brown sugar and water in a saucepan. Caramelize on high heat. It will be ready when you see big bubbles popping and the texture is thick.

  • Custard:.
  • Blend all ingredients in a big bowl with a hand mixer or spoon as not to create bubbles.
  • Pour mixture into caramel lined cake pan.
  • Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place tin in a larger baking pan half filled with water.
  • Place pan in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees and bake flan for about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Take the foil off in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Place serving deep dish over top of the cake pan, and invert. Flan will easily plate, and the caramel provides a wonderful sauce.

Tips:

  • For a creamier flan, use whole milk and heavy cream.
  • If you don't have a bain-marie, you can bake the flan in a water bath. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish inside a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • If you're using a metal baking dish, make sure to grease it well to prevent the flan from sticking.
  • Don't overcook the flan, or it will become dry and rubbery. Check the flan after 45 minutes of baking and continue baking in 5-minute increments until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help prevent it from cracking.
  • Serve the flan chilled, garnished with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Leche flan is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and caramel topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this classic Filipino dessert a try.
