I never liked flan or caramel pudding or caramel custard, so I never made it before. Homemade caramel pudding always had that eggy taste, so i never liked. But today, i made this recipe. omg, no one believed that it's actually homemade. I loved it. It has that crème brûlée texture. ❤❤ thank you for easy recipe ❤❤

My bf is Mexican and he does not like flan, so I made our Filipino version and had him try it. To my surprise he said he likes the Filipino flan better.

I copied this exact recipe and steamed mine on low heat for 60 mins but they were not as creamy as shown so I tried it again, same recipe but this time I steamed for 45 minutes and they came out perfect

I've lived in Texas, California and Arizona, I've tried Mexican flans from a lot of stores and shops in these 3 states and they're all either bland, too sweet but no flavor and a lot of add in ingredients that are not natural, or taste kinda like " cardboard" or "eggy " like the other commentators here mentioned.
I love a great creme brulee from Flemings but they're too pricey to have when I have my cravings for a little piece of dessert. So I thought my to go close to a Brulee is a Mexican flan but it's always a big disappointment.
Then I was invited to a birthday party and one of the guests bought several Filipino Leche flans that I thought were egg caramel custards. I asked the host of the party and she explained what they are.
Tasted it and oh my gosh, it's almost like Flemings' expensive creme brulee but creamier and flavorful in its own authentic ways.
So I started looking and calling for a Filipino shops here in AZ if they are selling Leche flans everytime I have a big craving for it instead of spending too much money in Flemings.

If you don't have a steamer, you can use one of those aluminum pie pans. Poke holes into it, then put it inverted inside the pot with water.
Anything you can find that can elevate the container for the leche flan is okay, as long as the water isn't higher than the container.

I have never tried flan this perfect, Thank you for making this amazing recipe. I kind of messed up by putting a table spoon instead of a tea spoon of vanilla but it was still so delicious!

You can make leche flan from the left over egg whites. Just double the milk you use. You can also add Milo to the mixture (optional). It will turn out pale but if proportions of the milk is right (adjust consensed milk for sweetness) Make sure there is enough of the evaporated milk that when mixed, it does not look and feel thick. More milk lessens the eggy taste, avoid expanding of the egg when cooked and provide the creamy texture.

I am a Mexican mom and my Husband is Filipino and I have been learning how to cook a variety of filipino dishes including this Flan….. totally love it ❤️

Our Filipino Leche Flan is the best version.

I landed here in the US way way back. For the first time in my life, i tried "other countrie's flan". I was like, "definitely not the version i grew up with". I like our version way way way better since my toungue is used to the sweetness coming from condensed milk and caramelized sugar.

This is by far the best video and explanation of how to make it that I've found. Thank you!

I make leche flan this velvety also but I bake it in water bath. My family and friends love it. Melts in their mouths too. I have not tried steaming. Yours is very yummy!

I will never forget how I was always trying to find a way to get my hands on flan ever since I was like 7 or so because of that flan episode from Courage the Cowardly Dog. I'm a young adult now and I have yet to get my hands on one. I won't let this go until I finally eat it. It's been over a decade.

She makes everything look good! Even flan.

Followed your recipe last & i love it!

By the way for the whites, I made a cheese egg something (I just made it up). It turned out great!

I grated carrots on the egg whites, added a bit of condensed milk, then stirred slowly until combined. Also added spices & seasoned it (parsley, pepper, salt, powdered beef stock). Stirred.

Then while frying, I flip just one side and added cheddar cheese on top. Poured egg mixture to the vacant side then repeating process until all mixture is done (flipping only one side every time).

After it’s done, I covered it and saved for breakfast & today, I made fried rice with it. My korean husband says it’s delicious so I’m happy. 🫶

The fact that this is steamed and not baked is something in loving

[imjelo]

If remember my late abuela's leche flan she uses dayap (Filipino lime) and instead of chicken egg she uses duck egg. *It melts in your mouth.* Hmmm...I am craving for leche flan.

We kapampangans (Pampanga) use duck eggs intead of chicken eggs, we put (dayap) or filipino lime grated into mixture, a teaspoon of vanilla, brown sugar instead of white. 😊😊😊 So yummy 😋
