Leche Flan (also known as crème caramel and caramel custard) is a dessert made-up of eggs and milk with a soft caramel on top. This dessert is known throughout the world (especially in Europe) and has been in the dessert menu of most restaurants because of its convenience in preparation and long shelf life. In the Philippines, Leche Flan is the top dessert of all time. During celebrations such as parties and town fiestas, the dining table won’t be complete without it.
I remember the Leche Flan that my Lola Belen makes when I was still living in Las Pinas. It really tasted so rich and heavenly; everyone in our family always requests her to make some on special occasions. As for me, I’m still lucky because my wife knows how to make a good one too (this is actually her recipe). If I did it my way (not the song…please), you might be having Leche Flan that tastes like Egg Pie instead.

hi kuya,
i want to make leche flan now coz we are going later in holland,gusto ko ipa-try sa mother in law ko.question lang po.pwede ba to gawin sa oven?at kung pwede,ilang degrees ang kakailanganin at ilang minutes.expecting your reply soon.lot of thanks!
marie
375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 to 50 minutes Marie.
do i still nedd to put hot water in a tray before putting in the molds to the oven?thank you po,kuya!
I would advise you to put water Marie just to make sure na di masunog yung ilalim na part ng leche flan.
question po ano po ano po ba tamang cooking time ng leche plan para malamang luto na siya? and my difference po ba ng ang lasa ng leche plan kung yung pang cover ay aluminum or tela my effect po ba yun sa lasa? thank you po
Hi! May I know if we can double or triple the recipe when mixing and just put it in separate molds for steaming? Thanks.
Definitely Mel

Hello,ang galing mo nmng magluto.Sana ako rin.Thank you nga pala ang dami kng natutunan sau.More power…..
Sir bat po ganuon, bakit di namin magawa na malabnaw ung caramelized sugar gaya ng sa inyo? Saan po kaya kami nagkamali. Please advise. Thanks
Hi Joey, may I please clarify your statement? Are you trying to say na di nag melt yung sugar when heat was applied or namuo yung sugar after steaming? Thanks
Magandang araw po uli and thank you sa reply. Niluto po namin yung sugar under low heat. It really took a while bag cya natunaw tapos nagkaroon ng mga clumps at sobrang lapot po ang kinalabasan nito then hindi cya naging malabnaw. Nung nilagay namin sa hulmahan nanigas kaagad cya. Sabi nga namin ni misis parng peanut brittle ang nangyari.
Hi Joey, medyo matagal talaga bago mag caramelize yung sugar at ok lang kung malapot as long as nadistribute mo yung caramel sa pan na gamit mo. Tungkol naman doon sa pagtigas ng sugar sa hulmahan, natural yun depending sa room temperature pero kahit tumigas na ay ayus pa rin dahil matutunaw naman uli yung sugar once na nailagay na yung ibang mixed ingredients at na steam na natin. After steaming ba matigas pa rin yung caramel sa itaas ng leche flan?
