Introduction

Leche Asada is a traditional Peruvian dessert that is similar to flan. It is made from simple ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen. This creamy and delicious dessert is perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed by everyone.

Ingredients

  • 1 can of condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 can of evaporated milk (12 oz)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of sugar

Note:

Before you start, preheat your oven to 350°F.

Instructions

Step 1: Caramel Sauce

Start by making the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn the sugar. Once the sugar is melted, pour it into a 9-inch round baking dish, making sure to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 2: Mix the ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3: Pour the mixture into the baking dish

Pour the mixture into the baking dish on top of the caramel sauce.

Step 4: Bake

Place the baking dish into a larger baking pan and fill it with hot water until it reaches halfway up the side of the dish. Bake for 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and set.

Step 5: Chill

Remove from the oven and let the Leche Asada cool to room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Step 6: Serve

Once chilled, run a knife around the edge of the dish to loosen the Leche Asada. Invert the dish onto a serving platter, and the caramel sauce will flow over the top. Slice into wedges and serve.
