To burn it off
Leche flan is the Filipino caramel custard: egg yolks, condensed milk and evaporated milk, steamed in an oval tin called a llanera with caramel at the bottom. Turned out, the caramel runs down the sides.
A slice is 180 kcal, with 28 g of carbs, 5 g of fat and 5 g of protein. Most of the carbs are sugar, from the condensed milk and the caramel.
It's denser and richer than a Spanish flan because it uses more yolks. A small slice goes a long way.
Tips
- 1Cut it thin, it's rich enough that a thin slice is plenty.
- 2Share one slice at a party and take a second spoon of caramel instead.
- 3Have it with fresh mango rather than a second slice.
