"LECHE FLAN"
Have you guys craved for something sweet after eating a heavy meal? Or just treat yourself with your favorite dessert?? Well I have! That's why today I will be talking about my favorite dessert!
And I am writing this as an entry to 
LECHE FLAN
Leche Flan or also known as Crème Caramal or Caramel Custard is one of the Filipino's favorite dessert. I myself loves this dessert. I love that it's creamy and soft. This dessert is popular and always served during special occassions like Fiesta, Christmas and New Year. It's main ingredient is egg. Though most people make leche flan just by using the egg yolk, some will experiment and also use the egg white. It's not as smooth as it is, but it will double the amount of the mixture.
Leche Flan is normally made in a mold called "Llanera". Its way of cooking is through steaming. After that, it needs to be cooled first, then chilled in the fridge for hours or over night.
Why I love Leche Flan?
Ever since I was a kid, Leche Flan has been my go to dessert. Whenever it's someones birthday, my Mom will make sure that Leche Flan will be one of the desserts. Don't get me wrong, I also love Chocolate Cake, but the sweetness of Leche Flan is different. Although now I cannot just eat it whenever I want to. (Need to make sure that the blood sugar is low) Lol.
