JojoMLet's make Leche Flan with our favourite Chef RV Manabat and his mom. We have compiled some tips to make this delectable Filipino dessert better!
Ingredients
- 10 egg yolks (use XL/Jumbo yolks, or add 1 to 2 more if using medium)
- 1 tall can evaporated milk
- 2 cans (380/390 grams) condensed milk
- Zest of 3-5 Dayap, OR zest of 2 lemons
- 2-4 tablespoons sugar per Llanera (leche flan mould), for caramelizing
Steps
1.
Pour 2-4 tablespoons of sugar into each Llanera.
2.
Heat the Llanera over low heat, carefully swirling the sugar until it melts and forms a golden-brown syrup.
3.
Remove from heat and let the caramel set before adding the custard mixture.
4.
Combine the egg yolks, evaporated milk, and condensed milk in a mixing bowl.
5.
Gently whisk the mixture, avoiding overmixing to prevent air bubbles.
6.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps or impurities.
7.
Stir in the Dayap or lemon zest.
8.
Gently pour the custard mixture into the Llanera, over the set caramel.
9.
Cover the Llanera with aluminum foil, sealing the edges tightly.
10.
Place the Llanera in a bain-marie (water bath) with hot water reaching halfway up the sides of the mould.
11.
Bake the Leche Flan in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
12.
Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
13.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
14.
Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges before flipping it onto a serving plate.
