Рецепт Leche Flan Lighter Version Recipe

by Muna Kenny

Leche Flan is a popular dessert in the Philippines, it is from the same family of cream caramel, crème Brule, and custard. The only downside of leche flan is the fact it’s too sweet and too thick and has just so many egg yolks.My version is lighter yet creamy and delicious. With the original leche flan recipe, you won’t be able to have more than few spoons, at least I can’t, although I love this dessert. However, it is too thick and too rich, I must stop at the third spoon. Of course, there are many who enjoy the original recipe and I’m not complaining, leche flan is wonderful.The leche flan recipe I’m sharing today has almost the same taste but is not thick, it’s lighter in calories and you’ll enjoy your portion without the guilt.
