The most delicious recipe I've made with eggs! 🤗😋🥰 | Filipino Leche Flan

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: regular milk + sugar

Coconut cream adds creaminess while reducing added sugars.

evaporated milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk is lighter, while regular milk is often cheaper.

sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Stevia reduces calories, while brown sugar is often less expensive.

vanilla extract

🥗Healthier: vanilla bean

💰Cheaper: vanilla essence

Vanilla essence is a budget-friendly alternative.

Prepare a steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Pour the caramel into a round mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly, and let it cool and harden.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract until smooth.

Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into the mold over the hardened caramel.

Cover the mold with aluminum foil to prevent water from dripping in during steaming.

Place the mold in the steamer and steam for about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove the mold from the steamer and let it cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and enjoy.
