Leche flan, a rich and creamy dessert originating from Filipino cuisine, is a beloved delicacy with deep cultural roots. Made primarily from egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and sugar, it is a custard topped with a golden caramel layer, typically steamed or baked until silky smooth. While its velvety texture and sweetness make it a treat for special occasions, leche flan is high in sugar, cholesterol, and saturated fat due to its key ingredients. It provides modest protein from the eggs but lacks significant vitamins or minerals. Moderation is key when enjoying this dish, as it’s an indulgence rather than a health-focused food. Leche flan highlights the Filipino love for combining simple ingredients into luscious, satisfying creations that unite families and guests during celebrations.
