Daughter learned how to make this from my cousin. I know this is probably a trade secret because she usually makes this and sells it to her friends. Instructions are from my daughter. I have a lot of objections when she makes this. Nothing to do with the cost but I just find it rich and creamy (and yummy too, I have to admit) and I am trying to keep my kids healthy as much as I can. I couldn't resist posting this though. You only need a few ingredients. Prep time is very minimal and all you needed to do is wait for an hour. Hey, laundry is just half an hour and the dryer about an hour.When she made this last week, I took the opportunity to buy Halu-halo mix so I can put the flan on my halu-halo. Ah, that's what I call a double whammy.
Ingredients:
4 tbsp of sugar
12 egg yolks (save whites for lemon merinue pie)
1 can of carnation evaporated milk
1 can of Carnation condensed milk
1 tsp of vanilla
lemon zest
Preheat Oven at 350-400.
Caramelize sugar in moulds. You will need two moulds for the above amount of ingredients. Set aside.
Put egg yolks in a bowl together with the milk, vanilla and zest. Stir gently and set the mixture aside for a few minutes to allow the bubbles brought about by stirring to a minimum. In the meantime, fill a foil pan with about 2 cups of water and shovel in the oven for about 10 minutes.
Strain egg mixture into the moulds to eliminate the zest. Place moulds into the foil pan and cover the foil pan with aluminum foil before shoveling it back into the oven. Bake for about an hour. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes. Let cool and chill before serving.

That looks soooo yummy. I miss my Lola's leceh flan!
this is my favorite pinoy dessert. i usually makes it during the holidays(thanksgiving and christmas), coz that's the time of year when i let myself pig out :) . my hubby and son loves this with their apple pie. i just love eating the whole thing..hehe
wow, mukhang totoong llanera ang ginamit dito ah. nice!
Uhmmm... Ting, does your daughter read your blog? Hehehe!
This does look perfect on top of halo-halo. Or with a pot of mint tea!
Toni, my lola was so probinsyana and she had a different dessert. I am hoping when we go visit my aunt this christmas, she will make that dessert for my kids to try.
Bugsybee, steaming actually is also good but I haven't tried it yet. I am close to being diabetic kasi that's why I am trying to avoid baking rich and sweet stuff. Wala namang bawal except that I have to watch what I eat and how much. Ang kaso, I also do not want to deprive my kids of these opportunities kaya I let them.
Apple pie Dexie? Ah that's something new. Never tried it before.
Stef, tutuong llanera yan. What happened was she baked it at her aunt's and I was so itching for her to come home kaya she was forced to bring the llanera with her. Cousin gave it to her na lang para daw matuto.
Mev, naku, I'll give you more than that kapalit ng painting mo. O ano, shall I call Fedex na?
Karen, haha, do my kids read my blog? They do, they do! Wala silang lusot if you ask them to slice vegetables for a certain recipe. Just ask them to look for it in my blog. Kaya sila inis, kasi wala na silang dahilan na hindi magawa ang pinapagawa ko unless offline which happens only once in a bluemoon.
Ang sarap naman ng leche plan na yan...nakakagutom!
