Glutinous Rice Flour Leche Flan (Leche Flan with Glutinous Rice Flour)
This Glutinous Rice Flour Leche Flan is the innovative twist on the classic Filipino Leche flan. It's made with 6 ingredients, eggs, sugar, coconut milk, condensed milk, glutinous rice flour, and vanilla extract.
Ingredients
- 1½ cup glutinous rice flour
- 1 can 400 ml sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add sugar. Melt sugar until turns golden caramel. Transfer to preferred molds and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine eggs, coconut milk, sweeteened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated.
- Stir in glutinous flour and whisk until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps from the glutinous rice flour.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth and silky texture.
- Carefully pour the strained custard mixture into the caramel-coated llaneras or your chosen molds.
- Cover the llaneras with aluminum foil or a lid. Steam them in a steamer for about 45 minutes, or until the flan is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's ready.
- Remove the flan from the steamer and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight to chill and set further.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the llanera to loosen the flan. Place a plate on top, invert it, and gently tap to release the flan with the caramel sauce on top.
