My sister loves sharing her travel stories from Europe, captivating her audience with her adventures. (I wrote a post about it here)
In addition to traveling, she is also passionate about cooking and enjoys sharing her culinary experiences.
Despite my encouragement and occasional insistence for her to join us in the Hive community, my sister remains committed to her YouTube channel. I mentioned that many members of Hive would love to hear her stories from Europe. In response to my excitement, she suggested that I could share her stories on her behalf.
Today, I'm thrilled to share my sister's video of her recipe recipe for the famous Leche Flan, a dessert that is sure to impress!

How to Make the Creamiest Leche Flan
In this guide, I will show you how to prepare the creamiest leche flan you've ever tasted. This delightful dessert is a favorite among many, including my chef colleagues who rave about it.
Let’s get started!

Instructions
Caramelize the Sugar
In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown. Once caramelized, carefully transfer it into a baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Allow it to cool.
Prepare the Egg Yolks
Crack 10 eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, discarding the whites or saving them for another recipe.
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks with the juice of one lemon. Be cautious not to add lemon juice if you've already added the milk, as this can cause curdling.
Add the condensed milk and cream to the mixture in a 1:1 ratio (equal parts). This ensures a rich and creamy texture.
Finally, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor and mix everything until smooth.
Prepare for Baking
Pour the mixture into the baking dish over the cooled caramel. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Place this baking dish inside a larger pan filled with boiling water (this is called a water bath) to ensure even cooking.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for about 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If not, bake for an additional few minutes.
Cool and Serve
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a plate, and enjoy!
