HOW TO MAKE LECHE FLAN

This Leche Flan recipe is my mom’s and I would like to share it with you for I know nobody hates Leche Flan because of its creamy and sweet taste. I remember the first time I had this dessert, my mother brought me this looking disgusting yellow thing and I said to her “mom what is that!? That is gross! That looks like ****!” then she said “it only looks gross because it is deformed but it tastes like heaven” and she smiled. I trust her so I had one and wow! The taste was really great. I asked her what was its name and she said this is called Leche Flan. I asked her, why you were not making this food back home? I can barely remember the next thing she said, all I can remember is the taste of Leche Flan. It used to be my favorite, I mean top of my favorites until tons of desserts came to my life, but of course Leche Flan is still one of my favorite desserts. Here is how my mother cooks Leche Flan. I hope you can make your versions or ways how to make Leche Flan being inspired by this recipe.
