This morning, I cooked Leche Flan, my all time favorite dessert. I need a lot of self-control to avoid over-eating because this dessert tastes so divine.
Do you know Leche Flan? This dessert is a steamed mixture of evaporated and condensed milk plus eggs, sugar and vanilla. The caramelized sugar top of this creamy custard enhances the sweet flavor even more.
This dessert is not an original Filipino recipe. We actually learned it from the Spanish who once colonized our country.

Leche flan is basically what Europeans call Cream Brulee and what Americans call cream caramel.

In other countries, leche flan is called cream caramel. If there is a dessert you should try, it should be pumpkin pie.
I also love Ube Cake, Purple taro is the best. When it comes to Filipino desserts, I love halo halo.
My favorite dessert is the impossible cake. It is basically chocolate in the bottom and lecheflan on top.

@salonga In mexico, they call it,the impossible cake. Basically first you will pour the flan batter, then you will pour the cake batter. When it gets done, The flan will be in the top of the cake. They basically switched places.

I don't know if I have a favorite. Strawberry shortcake comes to mind. So does a hot fudge sundae. Those would be more summer desserts. I don't know about a winter dessert, though anything chocolate is a good choice as long as it doesn't have peanuts or peanut butter in it - allergies.

That is really the best thing to do if you want to avoid eating too much.

I think leche flans is also called caramelized custard or caramelized pudding in other countries. So yes they are the same i think.

I like leche/custard flan too but my favorite is blueberry cheesecake or choolate cake. A panna cotta would be lovely too and so would a mango crepe. Now is it obvious that I am a dessert person? Lol
