Ingredients
 10 pieces eggs
 1 can condensed milk (14 oz)
 1 cup fresh milk or evaporated milk
 1 cup granulated sugar
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Using all the eggs, separate the yolk from the egg white (only egg yolks will be used).

2. Place the egg yolks in a big bowl then beat them using a fork or an egg beater
3. Add the condensed milk and mix thoroughly

4. Pour-in the fresh milk and Vanilla. Mix well


5. Put the mold (llanera) on top of the stove and heat using low fire

6. Put-in the granulated sugar on the mold and mix thoroughly until the solid sugar turns
into liquid (caramel) having a light brown color. Note: Sometimes it is hard to find a
Llanera (Traditional flan mold) depending on your location. I find it more convenient
to use individual Round Pans in making leche flan.
7. Spread the caramel (liquid sugar) evenly on the flat side of the mold

8. Wait for 5 minutes then pour the egg yolk and milk mixture on the mold
9. Cover the top of the mold using an Aluminum foil

Maja Blanca is a Filipino dessert made from coconut milk,


cornstarch, and sugar. Often called Coconut Pudding, this luscious
dessert is easy to make and the ingredients are very
common.Unknown to many, the original Maja Blanca Recipe does
not include corn and milk. In this recipe, I added whole sweet
kernel corn and condensed milk for added taste and a more creamy
texture.Since Christmas season is just around the corner, this
would make a very good holiday dessert especially during potluck
Christmas Parties and Noche Buena as well.
