About the Recipe
Leche flan, also known as crème caramel, is a popular dessert in the Philippines and other parts of the world. It is a rich and creamy custard made with condensed milk, evaporated milk, egg yolks, and a caramel sauce. Leche flan is typically served chilled and is a deliciously sweet ending to any meal.
The origin of leche flan is not entirely clear, as variations of the dessert exist in different parts of the world. However, it is believed to have been introduced to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization period. The name "leche flan" itself is derived from the Spanish word for milk (leche) and the French term for custard (flan). Over time, the recipe for leche flan has evolved in the Philippines to include local ingredients such as condensed milk and coconut milk. Today, leche flan is a popular and beloved dessert in the Philippines and is enjoyed by people all over the world.
