The holiday season is here and to celebrate, the remi team is sharing their favourite festive recipes in our annual ’12 days of remi Recipes’ blog series. Enjoy! 

Ingredients:

• 10 eggs
• 1 can condensed milk (14 oz)
• 1 cup fresh milk or evaporated milk
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Using all the eggs, separate the yolk from the egg white (only egg yolks will be used).
• Place the egg yolks in a big bowl then beat them using a fork or an egg beater
• Add the condensed milk and mix thoroughly
• Pour-in the fresh milk and vanilla. Mix well
• Put the mold (llanera) on top of the stove and heat using low fire
• Put-in the granulated sugar on the mold and mix thoroughly until the solid sugar turns into liquid (caramel) having a light brown color. Note: Sometimes it is hard to find a Llanera (Traditional flan mold) depending on your location. I find it more convenient to use individual Round Pans in making leche flan.
• Spread the caramel (liquid sugar) evenly on the flat side of the mold
• Wait for 5 minutes then pour the egg yolk and milk mixture on the mold
• Cover the top of the mold using an Aluminum foil
• Steam the mold with egg and milk mixture for 30 to 35 minutes.
• After steaming, let the temperature cool down then refrigerate
