Leche Flan Recipe by Nhick

Leche Flan Recipe by Nhick Ramiro Pacis

Leche flan is a delightful dessert popular in the Philippines and, to me, it is Spain’s greatest contribution to my culture. I have always considered myself as a leche flan gorger but I never attempted to make it until the last holiday season, thanks to Google search and Youtube! However, I mistakenly used orange extract instead of vanilla but it turned out to be so much better. Masarap na pagkakamali, as our friend, Tita Isabel, termed it so I feel proud to share my recipe with you!
