Leche Flan is the filipino version of a Creme Caramel. It is a sweet custard with a layer of soft caramel on top. Inspired on making this plain old boring filipino dessert a complex and elegant one, we reinvented it flavor-wise and presentation-wise.
We wanted to give this dessert a different texture, so we combined cheesecake and leche flan together. by doing so, it gives a creamier texture but still has that good old leche flan flavor that every filipino loves. For additional cheesecake element, the flan is placed on top of a graham cracker crust. We then grilled nectarines with rosemary and honey, which compliments the flan very well. Lastly, we made caramel powder for a play on texture. Once this powder is eaten, it will turn back in to that oowey gooey caramel consistency. The dish is served with caramel sauce, crushed almonds, mint and black lava sea salt.
All in all, this dessert was a success!
Hope you guys enjoy!
