Leche Flan

One of the well-known Filipino delicacies is Leche Flan. This dessert is one of the favorites of Filipinos especially during the Christmas season and some other feasts.
Just like other Filipino delicacies, Leche Flan has many variations also. It may take some time to make this dish that's why people prefer to buy those that are already made rather than making it themselves. Although it make some time, its a simple recipe to make. Here are the ingredients:

10 egg yolks
1 can condensed milk
1/2 can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of water
steamer

Procedure:

For the caramel of the leche flan, use a medium-sized oval shaped container to mix the sugar and water. Caramelize the sugar but be careful not to overcook or else it will be bitter. Let the caramel cool for awhile while make the custard of the leche flan.

For the custard, mix the egg yolks, condensed and evaporated milk, and vanilla extract together. After thoroughly mixing all the ingredients, put it on top of the caramel but don't put until the top of the container.

Then, put aluminum foil on top of the container. Let it steam for around 30-45 minutes or until the leche flan is done.

To serve, run over the side of the container with a sharp knife until the leche flan is a bit loose from the container. Put a plate on top of the container and flip the plate with the container to make leche flan drop on the plate. And, that's it!

Enjoy!
