My Best Ever Favorite Dessert - Leche Flan

The very popular dessert ever in the Philippines, leche flan. It is made-up of soft eggs (yolk), creamy milk and soothing caramel. I really missed it. It's very different when it's done by my Mom. She really make it very simple and special for us. It is a special menu in our Noche Buena and Media Noche. If I remember, what my Mom doing is after mixing all the ingredients she will drain the mixture in a cloth (commonly used is katsa) into the llanera. And after that she will steam all the llanera with a mixture. After some time (I forgot the exact timing) it will be done and a delicious masterpiece is ready to be served.

Haist!!! I really missed eating leche flan with my family. I wish, me and my wife is with my family in the Philippines.

Craving For Desserts (Panghimagas)

I'm fond to eat sweets especially chocolates, but still nothing compares with the superb taste of Philippines desserts. Philippines is well-known when it comes to sweets, that's one of the Filipinos proud of. Even though some of the desserts takes time and needs to exert more effort to finish its cooking. Like Ube Halaya it will take several hours to prepare; your shoulder will have muscular fatigue just for stirring it, but in the end you'll achieve the mouthwatering outcome. An outcome that will makes you proud of yourself and share with your family and friends.

So, lets continue to have our desserts with pride. Check it out on Philippines Food - Desserts page.
