My Favorite Christmas Dish (so far)

Weekly Topic: What is the best Christmas dish in your country/area?

Leche Flan is a dessert made-up of eggs and milk with a soft caramel on top. It resembles crème caramel and caramel custard.

Leche Flan is a classic Filipino custard dessert with a caramel topping. Original recipes in the Philippines dating back to my grandmother's time describe the use of fresh carabao's milk (water buffalo) to make this.

There is a difference between the Mexican flan and the leche flan. The Mexican flan is sometimes known as flan Napolitino that often includes cream cheese as an ingredient, whereas the Filipino leche flan adds egg yolks, condensed milk, and evaporated milk.
