1 can (390g) condensed milk
10 egg yolks
1 teaspoon , vanilla extract or lemon essence for the caramel
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water

For a few minutes, boil the mix until the sugar caramelize.Pour the caramelized sugar into aluminum moulds, you can use any shape: oval, round or square or even triangle. Spread the caramel on the bottom of the mould. Mix the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks and vanilla by hand or blender. Pour the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum moulds. Fill the moulds from about 1 to 1 1/4 inch thick. With an aluminum foil, cover the moulds individually. Steam for 20 minutes or bake for 45 minutes. Before baking the Leche Flan, place the mould on a larger baking pan half filled with very hot water. Pre-heat oven to 370 degrees before baking. Let it cool then refrigerate.
Serving
To loosen the Leche Flan, run a thin knife around the edes of the mould. Place a platter on top of the mould and quickly turn upside down to position the golden brown caramel on top.

This is my favorite dessert and I manage to get this from this link http://www.kusina.ph. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing her recipe. This is a yummy dessert.
