Remember all my big talk about being more deliberate about my content and my blah-blah-blah about scheduling what I cook weeks in advance? Well, scrap that! I did have a list of recipes I was going to work on this weekend but then I saw photos of these leche puto on my FB newsfeed today and all plans were kicked to the curb. I just had to make them ASAP!
I know how to make smooth, velvety leche flan and I've learned the secret to soft, fluffy puto months ago but how to put them together into one sweet treat in two delectable layers? I had to look to Google for answers. And sure enough, I found after a quick search what seems, judging from the number of complimentary comments, to be a solid recipe/tutorial at Heart of Mary. And guys, puto flan is just one of the delicious things you'll find there. ย I am totally blog-crushing! I've never seen so many cakes and dessert recipes I want to try in one place! These puto flan came out so perfectly soft, fluffy and yummy, I have high hopes for herย special ensaymadaย to be just as wonderful.

wana says
hello po. pwede po kaya ibake instead of steaming it?
Lalaine says
Hello Wana
I don't think pwede siyang ibake kasi moist heat dapat, magiiba ang kakalabasan. It might work sa oven kung mag bain marie ka. May malaki ka bang oven safe ka ba na dish na may takip? Lagay mo yung puto molds sa dish na may konting tubig then takpan mo and then bake 375 F. Ganito kasi way ko to cook leche flan as the bain marie mimics yung pagsteam, I think it will work sa puto.
wana says
thank you so much po ms. lalaine. the reason why im planning to bake it is because my steamer is small and the mold that i have is the cupcake pan. haha! so i guess i just have to purchase individual mold to fit into my steamer.
Lalaine Manalo says

Judy says
What is calamansi and is there a substitute?
Lalaine says
Hello Judy,
Calamansi is a citrus fruit, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamondin. You can substitute limes.
Karen Rodriguez says
Hi Ms. Lalaine,
Would like to ask kung anong measurement ng Kalamansi? Hindi kasi naka indicate.
Salamat ๐
Mara klein Dalit says
How am I going to reduce the ingredients if I just wanted to make let's say a dozen of puto? Is it also possible if I cook them together at the same time?
hilda abat says

Mar says
Hello. I tried to make this, the leche flan is successful and sooo good. Nagstick naman po sya sa puto but the problem is ang puto ay kulubot, okay naman po ang lasa nya kaso kulubot yung ibabaw. Ano po kaya ang problem dun sa puto?
Jan Kathleen Domingo says
Ask lang po anong size nang puto molds to make it 3 dozen?
Lalaine says
I used the smallest size, I believe they're one ounce capacity.
mervyn says
Hi, i tried your instructions, but the leche flan were not successful in turning to solid, i tried to cook them for 5 mins for atleast 3times still not solid. But i tried the puto on separate molds, they went successful. I dont know what went wrong on the leche flan
Gina says
Mines too. My flan did not set. Did you get a reply?
Lalaine says
Hello Gina,
I don't really know why the flan didn't set. If the ingredient amounts and the instructions were followed, the leche flan should have turned out fine.
