Leche Flan Recipe

Instructions

1 Separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring only the yolks are used for
this recipe. Transfer the yolks into a large mixing bowl and whisk them
thoroughly with a fork or egg beater until smooth and uniform.
2 Pour in the condensed milk and stir until well combined. Add the fresh milk and
vanilla extract, blending the mixture to achieve a silky consistency.
3 Place the mold (llanera) on a stovetop over low heat. Add the granulated sugar,
stirring continuously until it melts and transforms into a golden caramel.
Ensure the caramel is spread evenly across the bottom of the mold. If a llanera
is unavailable, small round pans work well as substitutes.
4 Allow the caramel to cool for about 5 minutes before pouring the egg and milk
mixture over it. Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil to prevent steam from
entering during cooking.
5 Steam the mold with the mixture over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until
the flan sets and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6 Remove the mold from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the flan to allow it to firm up and enhance its flavor.
7 To serve, gently loosen the edges with a knife, invert the mold onto a serving
plate, and let the caramel sauce drizzle over the flan. Serve chilled as a
delightful dessert and enjoy.
