My Creamy Cheesy Flan

We have a very popular dessert in the Philippines and we call it Leche Flan. My interest for cooking and baking has brought me to know more about food. Leche Flan is a dessert from European countries and since the Philippines has been under the Spanish Regime for quite sometime, our cuisine is greatly affected, improved and changed, While growing up, I always thought of Leche Flan as a Filipino food, it was later on when I understood that there are more Filipino foods brought by countries who colonized our government and our people. Leche Flan comes in different ways or version and it depends upon the country where you live.I learned that Mexico and Spain has a very similar Leche Flan like in the Philippines. Leche is a word which means milk.

My Creamy Cheesy Leche Flan is a different one.. obviously I added Cream Cheese which makes it sweet and cheesy. I made Leche Flan before but it is always the Pinoy style. Basically the Pinoy style consist of evaporated milk, condensed milk, caramelized brown sugar and egg yolk. Hmmnn..I'm beginning to salivate already. I have a friend who now lives in U.S, and she is known for her Leche Flan with Yam and Sweet Coconut! I don't know how she manage to do it..but it is creamy with lots of milk and also very full because of yam and young coconut.. Oh terrible, I miss those days!
