Leche Flan is a traditional Filipino dessert influenced by Spanish history. Served during special occasions, this dessert is rich and decadent that literally melts in your mouth! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
We Indonesians cook the same flan by using both sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, and instead by bain Marie we steam it
Use 1 tablespoon of Ghee in the mix. It will smoothen out the whites.
@mangican1 wait, we have flan?
What is bain marie?
@@panglaro8486 fancy steamer
@@Rudeus04no. A Bain Marie is a double boiler not a steamer
That’s the exact way us Mexicans do flan 🍮 soo good
well yeah because of culture exchange years ago
Spain made Philippines and Mexico cousins.
i love hearing about the effects of the galleon trade
Yea colonizer brought it to different parts of there world . So it’s from everywhere
i do a water bath for my flan 🇲🇽 its delicious either way! totally need to try steaming flan
These are boss I used to buy them off Facebook from this lovely Filipino young mum twice a week 😂
Oh my have your blood sugar checked. We Filipinos eat this on special occasions only because this is so decadent. 😂
Twice a week, omfg, please eat more healthy!
my mum made filipino baked goods and sold them out to the neighborhood cause shes the best cook in all the lands
@@krioqueMaybe not, but Diabetes is...
@avantail Sugar should be regulated. Soda is cursed and no one should consume so much refined sugar in a sitting, EVER
Note: In Malaysia, the recipe is almost the same. The difference is that we don't strain the mixture. Instead, we purposely want the bubbles since it holds the caramel better.
Huh, thats actually how my aunt makes her flan. I personally like the strained better because of the silky smooth texture but i also like the unstrained one because of the very reason you just stated. Never knew its from malaysia tho.
We do the same in Venezuela, we call it Quesillo (little cheese). If you don't achieve the little holes then you have failed as an auntie 😂
@@mamh18 Venezuelan with Colombian family here. I think there are only 2 quesillos, the baine Marie/steamed one, and the baked one. I like the steamed ones for silkiness, but the baked ones have a richer flavor (which is how some Colombians do it). I think we should make a flan/quesillo recipe book where we state each flans points like superhero cards 😂 amount of holes, tastiness, etc
@@kitacorrentin I put it in baño maría in the oven, and of course a lot of rum
@@mamh18 I wonder if they use liquor in the Philippines? The Spanish one was with Jerez, right? Some use brandy, too. But rum's Caribbean, so maybe that's something only we use? Who knows
Flan is a dessert influenced from our Spanish roots so yes the differences are subtle but essentially the same
Thank you! Finally someone said it!
Exactly!! Irritating that people take a traditional dish from a culture, and say it’s theirs
@@FuckedUp84 The whole point of Spanish colonialism was to spread Spanish culture (and Catholicism) across the world. It's not like the Philippines appropriated it from the Spanish--they quite literally forced it upon the Pinoy. However subtle the differences are between Filipino flan from Spanish flan, they are still present which makes Filipino flan distinctly Filipino, the same way Latino versions of flan are distinct to their respective cultures as well.
colonial influence* not roots
@@FuckedUp84 hey dont be rude.😅
Leche flan is so good, us puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 make it too
We make queso flan most of the time tho.
Flan, whatever flavor is delicious! Wepa
Shut up
As a filipino we also have different version now of flan you should try mango flan and cassava flan.
Mango flan sounds delicious 🤤. Didn’t know there was such thing. I must try.
Mango sounds good!
Damn as a Cuban mango flan sounds like what you get to eat after you die.
@@mrdrprof99 you should try to do it
i think ur right. a good mango has that gentle sweetness & a hint of sour taste.
duo gentle , flan n mango
huh, i never realized how simple flan was to make. i guess it is a pretty simple dessert, i'll have to try making some soon!
It is only hard when you try your best to avoid bubbles for a silky flan.
@@ejmtv3 do you think it's worth it if you have the time?
Never made one yet but I heard If you mess up you're gonna get an omelette
@@aru8545 a very yolky omelette.
@@freyjablue. as some one who is brazilian I can tell you we make flan all the time and it never turned out to be much of a problem, so yeah I would recommend you to try out! Maybe start out with smaller sized ones so they cook all the way through, then build your way up to a big one
As a Filipino. We in our family use egg whites too when making leche flan. You just have to adjust the cooking process and some ingredients. We don't want to waste the egg whites. Hehehe
The common theme would be Spain’s past history on colonialism. Obviously with a regional twist. Great vid. Peace to all the cultures grinding out amazing food.
Except Spain didn't invent flan. Flan's been here since the Roman empire.
@@Tusc9969The Spanish made flan sweet. Then they went to Mexico and added vanilla. Then Spaniards and Novohispanos (Mexicans) conquered the Philippines and ruled from Mexico City and then Madrid.
This is the right way to do it. so many others use egg whites that makes the flan so freaking hard. and it shouldnt be hard. good job!
Indeed!!! It's honestly disgusting how others use egg whites LOL seems like they're making a sweet omelette instead of leche flan 😆😆😆
Its cheaper. Adds more volume. And a lot of people don't know what to do with egg whites
@@Lesdrasill literally just cook the whites, its crispy
@@Lesdrasillmake meringue. That's what we do
@@elliestar888 yea, thats where egg whites should be used for.
Very similar to Cuban Flans. We also make Coconut and Pumpkin Flan which is DELICIOUS!!!
But my favorite custard dessert is Cuban Coffee Crème Brûlée. OH MY...
god my favourite dessert fr
ngl i honestly enjoy the bubbles in my flan, i feel like when there aren't any bubbles it feels too dense while chewing and i have a hard time with it sticking to my mouth so i enjoy how the bubbles make it feel lighter so i can eat more of it ❤
Leche flan is spanish and it's why many countries have their version of it.
Because you people colonised so many innocent countries
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 Innocent hahaha good one 😂
@@youraveragepasser-by7367In reality it wasn’t just Spain who “colonized” the East Indies/philippines, it was Mexico. Mexico City ruled it for the Spanish Crown.
Naw bro really sounded like a villager when he scolded himself
Omg, I used to think leche flan was just the Filipino way of calling flan until I tasted my friend's family's leche flan and I had my 🤯. Like, it's so rich, delicious, and life changing, NO LIE. Leche flan and flan are not equals.
we make the same recipe in brazil
We do it basically the same in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 ❤
Man the nostalgia strikes again. Back then whem my mom wasnt busy as now and i was a single child she would always cook tons leche flan and i always enjoy the part where it just kinda melts in your mouth. But now since i have 2 siblings (supposedly 3) shes been more busy to support the family with my dad. But of every now and then she still cooks but still hits better back then.
The gasp of pain is simply too relatable 💀
Ayo 😂😂😂😂
As a filipino, this dessert is probably 50% the reason why Im overweight. Cant stop eating this lol
I’m Puerto Rican and my household ALWAYS has the necessary ingredients to make flan at any given time 😂. It’s so good!
"Almost every culture has their own version of flan, but this is Leche flan"
He literally said in the beginning that Leche flan in only a variety of flan, not the "original" one. You guys need to watch the video again before saying "ooh izza hablas Espanol", "oui zee mouin corte Là Francois", "esta Portuguese" or whatever jeez.
Many countries, especially those previously influenced/colonized by Spain and Portugal have flans because they brought it there. Natives then made their own variation, like in the Philippines where they only use the yolk, use llanera for container and cooking vessel, canned milk due to US influence, and more.
The most international Spanish desert 👌🏼
Yeah i always hated spanish
@@taluwan1236 Spanish colonialism did a lot of harm to countless indigenous cultures, but at least the cuisine it birthed ended up as a nice silver lining.
@@jcub5855 ah so its ok to mass kill people exchange of cuisine?? Typical spanish they invaded Philippines because one of the reasons are spices and when they came they introduce the rapist priests and killed many people just for their fucking religion and its catholic by the way fucking hypocrites
@@jcub5855 As if they weren't doing harm to eachother, no sir...the Aztec *EMPIRE* wasn't a thing at all, they all lived peacefully in a Disney-like ecosystem where everyone respected everyone until the eeeeevil Spaniards came along and slaughtered, pillaged and raped everyone, huh?
@@taluwan1236As a Mexican, I would never talk about my ancestors like that. They did a lot of good as well.
Argentinian Flan 🍮 is very similar, we just top it with Dulce De Leche
I'm brazilian and I love Doce de leite!
Filipino here I also love dulce de Leche so good
That’s the real Filipino version I grew up with and if you used chicken egg yolks, try using duck ones. It’s like 100 times richer
As a Cuban flanatic I gotta say the Brazilians have won me over with their rendition
As a Filipino i can confirm im addicted to this
The Spanish took over the Philippines and now we got Asian flan boys
Exactly how we make flan in Peru. We call it crema volteada (flipped cream) 😂
the recipe is same across many countries. there is nothing special in it that makes it philipino
I’ve tried Columbian and Mexican Flan its different from our Leche Flan, ours is rich and creamy not jiggly
@@antoniobonito787Not all Mexican flan is jiggly. Mexico’s flan is closest to the European original. Mexico City actually ruled the philippines for the Spanish Crown for 250 years
this is honestly THE most perfect loop i've ever seen
Recently I tried an El Salvadorian "corn bread flan," that was FANTASTIC! Same basic flan recipe, but then added cornmeal & fresh corn kernels -- all blended until smooth -- and baked. No carmelized sugar, instead I poured some homemade strawberry & blueberry sauce & topped with whipped cream. Mmm... 😋👌
Our version of leche flan in Venezuela is called "quesillo" we used the same ingredients and the holes are a sign of great cooking skills. We even have a version mede with coconut and it is Good 😋😋 🥥🌴🥥🌴😋😋
😆 in the Philippines, its the other way around..if it has bubbles in it, it means u failed. It not a perfect leche flan… and we use the left over egg white to make Brazo de Mercedes, another Filipino dessert 😋
@@antoniobonito787 shut up antonio bonito. You are pasting your dvmb comment all over the place.
As a Fellow Filipino, i can confirm this was our Childhood desert.
Same bro
As a human, idgaf

@@muadzsaufi7200or i do
@@muadzsaufi7200i did give a fuc?
ooh!! we in brazil cook the exact same flan!!
Wow, it looks so smooth and creamy delicious! Yum
If you think it is too sweet for you try the Spanish recipe, we only used fresh milk and it tastes amazing
As a Latino, I consider you Filipinos one of us
Consider us the adopted Asian child of the family.
@@jmneo4635lol ilovethat
Aw not again man😔🖐️
@@Mavis7oteltransylvania Aw...
Sorry then
Mexico and Philippines were colonized by the Spanish almost at the same time.
" UHMMM, YUM' YUM' YUMMY "
love leche flan its so so good my aunt use to make me this all the time
My suegra calls this flan napolitano, everytime she makes it is sooooo good and creamy
You should make dominican flan de coco, good shit
Thank u for sharing our deliciousness, underated food.....🤩🤩🤩🫰🫰🫰🫰 Nakakagutom
bro turned into a minecraft villager while he was steaming them
Flan is so god damn good, I had it again recently and god damn was it amazin
Hmmmm, thanks. I've made flan, but this one looks yummy.👌🏻
I love leche flan 🍮 so much🤤
My Filipino step mother who I dearly loved taught us to make many Filipino dishes. Lychee Flan was one of my favorites.
What? Lychee flan? Please, would you provide me with the ingredients for that recipe?
Some of y'all need to calm down. Sure, it may not be Filipino only, but we grew up eating leche flan. It became ingrained with not just our childhood but also our culture.
If you're going to educate someone, at least do it in a calm manner.
Who is crazy? Maybe if Filipinos would not act crazy on other flan videos it might help as well. Go to another video and see them making comments about how to “really” make it. That’s ANNOYING. Filipinos wouldn’t even have Flan de leche if it wasn’t for Mexico City conquering the islands for the Spanish Crown.
In México we do it the same way lol😅
That’s because they got it from us 💆🏻♂️😂
At the beginning i though he just pulled out a plate of coloured water
Air bubbles create a great texture in my opinion. It takes the air and uses that unused volume to create denser areas in certain points. The best flan I’ve ever had I was 6 and it had those air bubbles. To die for.
Perfect loop doesn’t exi….
in france flan is made from a mix of eggs, milk, cornstarch and vanilla extract that is then poured on a shortcut pastry (so it's basically like a pie ig) and cooked in the oven. it's delicious!
Got your attention! Here it is! A wonderful product..
This is my go to food every time we visit someone during their town fiesta.
😮 i do it the same , only i put the Clara de huevo , i am going 2 do it like your recipe 😊
Spanish bring leche flan in the Philippines. They built a lot of church in the Philippines during their colonization and they're only using egg whites as cement so for yolks not be wasted they teach Filipinos how to make this.
France tryna be different with "cremé burleé"🤓
It’s the same thing 😂 and Filipinos only got it because they were ruled by Mexico City for the Spanish Crown
I’m sold! I like this version a whole lot better with the egg yolks alone! Will try it!
👍👍
This is basic flan anywhere in Latin America
That’s because Mexico City ruled the East Indies which the philipines was part of and they brought the recipe from Europe and Mexico. The filipinos think it’s theirs😂
I will be making flan with an ube flavor condensed milk I found
Wish me luck
I tried that ube condensed milk - on paper it should work but it was just way too rich and way too sweet (even for condensed milk). I suggest testing it on one small flan mixture first.
How did it turn out?
My mom taught me a recipe similar to this. She’s from Mexico and am very happy to have been taught it. The only thing different is she adds a whole block of cream cheese and doesn’t use a water bath. I never thought about straining it or using solely the egg yolks. I wonder if it’ll come out the same? I’ll have to try one day
That’s exactly how Brazilians cook flan! It’s so good I love how smooth it is
This looks so much better than the Mexian one imo just bc I don’t like gelatin. Every mexian flan or even Japanese pudding has gelatin and I hate the plasticy taste and weird af texture but this looks like cheesecake texture :0
Idk what kind of Mexican flan you’re eating but that’s not how Mexicans make it. Gelatin is never used in Mexico or where I am in NY
I think what u've tasted had the egg whites mixed with egg yolks. I remember playing around between Leche flans with both egg whites n yolk and Leche flans with just the egg yolk. The flan with the egg whites n yolk gave me the gelatin feeling while the flan with just the egg yolk gave me the creamy feeling (in ur case, the cheesecake texture). I've tried making Leche flan with just egg whites, but... it didn't turn out so well 😅 Some ppl prefer the whole egg version of the flan bc u can make more flans and less tedious to separate the yolk.
I love being from a Spanish colonized Country. We never have an issue with what to eat when we visit each other cus we basically have the same foods ❤😂💪🏻
That’s stretching it. The foods are not that similar
Looks good
Very version of flan is a good version of flan. I will eat them all. I am the most experienced with Mexican flan, which is made similarly.
Authentic Filipino leche flan has dalayap/dayap zest. It makes HUGE DIFFERENCE ❤
Exactly! We wont make it if it doesnt havr that dayap rind. And we dont use condensed milk! Dont know why everyone uses condensed milk on almost every dessert these days.
Secret technique.
use duck eggs
in uruguay we do it the same way and from the comments i'm starting to guess it was a spanish thing
You. Absolutely. Fcking. Nailed. It!!
I'm so impressed with the end result!
I don't want to sound like an asshole or like 🤓 but that's just normal flan you can get in Mexico and spain
Promise you, ours is different. Its richer and creamier than Latino and Spanish flan. .. my Mexican friend said, Filipino Leche Flan is the best flan he ever tasted 😆
@@antoniobonito787No it’s not, you’ve never had a good flan then. Also, the only reason you have it in the first place is that Mexico City ruled the philipines which was part of the East Indies for the Spanish Crown. We know the original recipe and also are the first ones to put vanilla since it is native to Mexico.
💯💯
@@mdc3148 lol seriously, and so? The only reason you have that recipe now because of the romans. Also, u can have your “original recipe” to yourselves if u want. 😆
@@antoniobonito787 It’s better than yours, and yes, at least they’re our Latin ancestors. They’re not your ancestors
In Brazil, this dessert is normally called pudim, which is funny, cuz pudim when translated becomes pudding, not flan!
Pudim is much looser in texture. I make this version of flan for my Brazilian husband, but the pudim in brazil hás egg white in it so it is not as creamy and thick. It has more jiggle and looseness to it. You should try this one, I prefer it and so does my husband.
@@sbb998 I didn't know that!
But it's usually pudim flan as a full name, no? That's how it is in PT
Not in the Centro-Oeste, atleast. Different regions have different names for the same food.
As a Filipino you did it perfectly
In Pakistan we call it pudding, only use 4 ingredients, sugar, fresh milk, eggs and vanilla extract. We steam it on stove top too!
Filipino leche flan is Everytjing ❤simply the best in the world 🌎 Great Job !!
Whenever I see this dude's videos, the way he phrases things makes it seem like he doesn't go out in the world.....
A girl I worked with made flan for everyone once. I wasn't there that day but she came in the next day and brought me some. Everyone else had left theirs at work on the counter, and I was so mad they wasted such deliciousness. Flan is amazing 😩
I love your videos. Wish they were longer.
Bro thought his flan was different then all the other ones 😂
They literally think they came up with it when Mexico City ruled them for 250 years for the Spanish Crown 😂
My Mexican family makes flan this exact way with extra egg yolks bc they had chickens. It was always my fave bc it is not as soft as other flans
My abuela made this all the time...Good memories
So similar in what we do in India, although we usually add topings like nuts.
Every culture does not have a flan. Thank you, Rome Italy, for inventing it. Thank you, Spain, for introducing it to Latin America and the Philippines.
More like Spain introduced it to Latin America/Mexico and then Mexico City ruled the Philippines for the Spanish Crown for 250 years, introducing it to the people there
No not every culture has a Flan and like most things from the Philippines it comes form the Spanish
Ok but chill. Japan aint got no Spanish influence and they have flan
@@tangofoxtrot40 not traditionally, it’s a new thing there.
Sorry but it's French
@@markovangelo no it’s not 🤡 it’s from Spain
@A poor little guy didn't know any better
i can smell it throught the screen and its smells really good 😌
I get wanting a super creamy smooth flan, but there's a special place in my heart for an eggy, airhole-filled one.
Bro, one of our elementary teachers made us eat lemon flan that she made IN CLASS.
She ain't make it like you tho!
She made that nasty shit in like 15 minutes and half the class got sick n threw up.
Including me, ofc. Lol
One of my worst food experiences.
0/10, will not do again. 💀
Your teacher is a terrible cook
exactly like pudim, which is brazilian flan
Quick and precise cooking guide 😊
OMG THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
Flan is a spanish dessert 😂
Thank you for cooking it the right way! It disgusts me how some Filipinos use egg whites in making leche flan lol. The traditional ingredients are only egg yolk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and sugar. Honestly, it shouldn't be that difficult to make so I don't understand why Filipinos tend to do so 😒
why would one waste the egg whites. works fine for this.
so many recipes want you only use egg yolks, youll end up with 100 egg whites. You gonna eat meringue all day?
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j You can use it on other dishes than meringue lol 😒
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j historically, the filipino leche flan was made because the spanish colonizers only uses the egg whites as construction material (adhesive) for the churches and government offices they built. They taught Filipinos to make flan and other deserts that uses the yolks. Nowadays, we Filipinos do find ways to utilize the unused egg whites. We make it to mayonnaise or simply put salt and pepper before frying it like a regular sunny side up, then use it as filler for sandwiches together with other left over savory meat based foods.
@@agentorange4635 well even mayonnaise is better with only yolks according to many.
is my point. But even if whole egg works in most recipes, using only egg white doesn't turn out as good. And even for sandwich etc. I much rather have whole egg, than only white in order to use yolks only for recipes such as this where whole egg works as well
You aren’t making it correctly then. The ORIGINAL recipes from Europe uses egg whites. It only got to you filipinos because Mexico City ruled the philipines for 250 years and they taught you how. Yet you can’t even remember how to make it.
Ooooh egg yolks instead of the whole egg sounds good!! I’m Puerto Rican and make it with a block of cream cheese (flan de queso). I’m gonna test it out with egg yolks instead of whole eggs! I also use vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract and it comes out SOOOOOO good!
Looks very delicious 😋
Leche flan.... Filipino....? Bro, the Romans used to eat a variant of it and it's literally named in Spanish. Which is naturally the dish found its way to the Phillipines. Flan is about as Filipino as kebab is German.
I agree. I am a Filipino but I cringe so much at these videos and a lot of comments that pride on "Filipino" stuff that is not even that amazing or unique. They are just desperately trying to find some acknowledgement of their identity and nationality.
U ok? Leche flan is already part of the Filipino gastronomy since hundreds of years ago, so it could be called Filipino, or Mexican, Puertorican, Spanish, or any country that has it as its traditional food and will also base on how they prepare it in their own way.
THANK YOU!! So correct. The only reason Filipinos have it is because they were ruled by Mexico City for the Spanish Crown!😂
@@mndelpardo9249Not really. The Latin Europeans and Latin Americans make it the original way, with variants. The Filipinos make it totally different
@@mdc3148 LMAO, Philippines make it in severral ways and there's just the same with the most original way and ingredient to make it
Yummy. The best leche flan is the Filipino flan.
This is the best recipe 🤤
Sounds Amazing
