Combine two popular Filipino desserts, leche flan and puto, for a delicious homemade treat. Puto is a steamed cake that is traditionally made with rice, however, this version uses all-purpose flour making it ideal for creating cakes as cute as these!
Its partner, leche flan, is primarily made with eggs and milk. It serves as the perfect topping for puto especially since it gives a rich and creamy layer to a classic Filipino favorite. This dessert recipe is definitely one that you should bookmark for merienda time or potluck parties!
A few tips to make this fun dessert: strain the leche flan before adding it into the molds. Make sure you also leave space for the puto to rise so fill in your molds only 3/4 of the way. Lastly, allow the leche flan puto to cool down before you unmold.Â
