About Leche Flan
Leche flan is a Filipino caramel custard. This classic version uses egg yolks with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk beneath a caramel layer.
It is deeply milky and sweet, with rich egg custard and a lightly bittersweet caramel finish.
The set custard is smooth, dense and silky, turning glossy when inverted so the amber caramel runs over its surface.
