This easy Filipino leche flan recipe is a delicacy among the Filipino people. Creamy, soft, yummy and super easy to prepare. Made with 4 simple ingredients that you most likely have in your fridge and pantry.

In the summer of 2015, we took a family summer vacation to Manila the capital of the Philippines and enjoyed this leche flan almost on a daily basis. Addicted to this flans’s sweet creamy and soft texture and flavor we visited a few local bakeries were they shared their recipe. Although being from Ecuador I’ve been eating flan since I can put a spoon in mouth.

But there was something different about the Filipinos flan that made it unique and different. Of course once we got back home from out trip I hit the kitchen to attempt to make the 2 recipes that were given to me. Below is one of the recipes, actually it’s my favorite version. I will post the other recipe at a later date which is prepared with milk instead of condensed and evaporated milk.

• 300 grams egg yolks (6 Large Eggs)
• 100 grams granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
• 300 ml sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
• 354 ml evaporated milk (1 can)

Preparation
