leche flan
Filipino caramel dessert
Leche flan is a Filipino custard dessert made from egg yolks, condensed milk, and evaporated milk, baked with a caramel topping.
Denser and richer than Spanish flan due to its higher egg yolk content, it's a staple at celebrations and family gatherings.
The dessert is typically steamed or baked in a water bath, then inverted so the caramel pools over the silky custard.
No Filipino fiesta is complete without leche flan.
