Leche Flan

1:35 PM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

Do you like leche flan? As for me, I do like it if it's not that too sweet. I have tasted the best leche flan ever as being baked by my friend R. She said her secret is using organic ingredients. Ooh that was so yum-o!  Anyway, if you do like doing it, here’s how to make leche flan. It’s very easy I tell you.

INGREDIENTS:

• 9 egg yolks (beaten) 
• 1 condensed milk 1 evaporated milk
• 1 tsp vanilla Caramel
• 1/4 cup brown sugar 
• 2 tbsp water

 PROCEDURE: 

1. Mix the beaten egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk & vanilla together. Set aside. 
2. Caramelize brown sugar and water by placing the two ingredients in a pan. 
3. Turn on the stove to medium heat. 
4. When it gets thick & becomes dark brown in color, spread the caramel evenly on the flat side of the mold (llanera or any shaped container). 
5. Wait for about 5 minutes to cool down before pouring the egg yolk mixture. 
6. Transfer to a steamer. Cover the molds with an aluminum foil. 
7. Steam for 30-45 minutes. (Steaming time depends on the size of the mold or container.) 
8. Remove from steamer. 
9. Refrigerate after the temperature cools down. 
10.  

Share & Enjoy!

Desserts

Makes me want to have bites of these desserts right now. If only I have taken this picture now, I then would not crave for this. Ah ha! These cooked ripe banana plantains and that as what you can see. Ooh my goodness foodies --- come to me right now. Ha ha! It is cold and had been raining cats and dogs a minute ago and now it's cloudy. I just give you a hint of why I am craving to eat foods and more foods right. If only my terrible-two stage daughter would eat as her mom, I could then have a partner in my food trip. Ooh well, I cannot wait of the time that she eats as voracious as I am and wishing that time too that I won't get fat, since we will also going to exercise or burn calories together. Isn't that an awesome day-dreaming? Ha! Okay, you can bite me now to stop me from talking afar. Oops! I just need that cooked sweetened taro root I cooked yesterday now, right now (ooh well, in lieu of in that picture below)!

Thank you for being here. 'Til next time....

My Home-Made Maja Blanca

2:10 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

I'm quite a pro of this foodie dessert. And I made this a countless time already. So far, I can say I perfected it as of my own taste. I love it. It's not that I love " my own " but it is one of my favorite dessert and I tell you what, I can eat that little rectangular shape of Pyrex maja blanca content in one sitting. Yes, that's how I love eating maja blanca. It's great for hot weather or summer season because this dessert (well, I think most dessert anyway) is yummylicious (of course its the taste that counts) when serve cold. And you know the magic  word of coolness in hot weather season.

How I made this? This is my recipe of maja blanca dessert and as you can see I have organic raw cashew as toppings (my first time to use cashew as topping) and it suits to my taste. I usually don't put toppings as I put just as the same measurement of peanuts to a cornstarch. Sometimes I also like to put crushed peanuts on it which what most cook does when making this dessert.

And so, why not take your bite? Smile.. :-)
