  • After steaming, let the mould cool before refrigerating.

Cooking Tips

Our leche flan recipe is simple but maybe a little difficult for beginners. Here is how you can make Leche Flan that cannot go wrong:

  • Heat the sugar on low fire and constantly stir to avoid burning.
  • Only separate the egg whites and yolks before cooking. Exposing the egg yolks to air earlier creates lumps that make them difficult to melt.
  • Llanera is a mould used to make Leche Flan in the Philippines. However, it may not be available or is difficult to get elsewhere. You can replace the Llanera with a round cake pan.
