In my honest opinion this is THE GREATEST dessert known to mankind. I've loved this since childhood: my mom would make it, we would buy it at the nearest Filipino store, friends and family would make it for family gatherings and it was a wedding gift from my family. I really love leche flan, or just plain old flan, or maybe you could call this a custard cake...or pie? Whatever name you give this plateful of creamy goodness I'm sure you too will sing its praises. The main ingredients are quite similar to Puerto Rican Flan or Dominican Flan. I used whole eggs, but usually you use just the egg yolks (I don't like to waste the whites so I use them also). Ingredients: 6-8 large eggs 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 can evaporated milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 cup granulated sugar Directions: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add a can of both sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Pour in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, then mix well. Put aside so any bubbles may escape. This helps give a smooth texture for your flan. In a 10 inch cake pan heat up the granulated sugar. When you see the edges start to melt, constantly swirl the pan around until the sugar completely dissolves giving a dark amber color. Place the cake pan in a casserole dish and fill the dish with hot water half way up the cake pan. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Put everything in the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes to an hour. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Remove the cake pan from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes, then put into the refrigerator for 2 hours (or more). After that time flip the cake pan onto a serving dish and remove the pan...Voila! Enjoy your delicious dessert : ) This is a sentimental recipe for me. This was the first dessert I made for my wife when she and I were dating quite a few years ago. Actually, I used a Sara Lee pound cake back then...don't judge. Anyway, with Valentine's Day fast approaching I thought that this Strawberry Shortcake recipe would be an appropriate video. A simple whipped cream topping was put together for this video, but if you want a sweeter version check the link below.

She makes GREAT Monkey Bread. If you would like an easy to make recipe for this great tasting treat, then check the description below. Use flaky biscuits by Immaculate Baking for best results. I try to get her to make this for every family get together we have, but I mostly get to have this during the Christmas holiday season. So if you like Monkey Bread, and you're looking for an easy to make recipe, then this video is for you. Here's a link for the Immaculate Baking Flaky Biscuits: http://amzn.to/2hTefFe Ingredients: 3 cans of Flaky Biscuits by Immaculate Baking 1.5 cup white sugar 2 Tbsp cinnamon 2 sticks real butter (plus butter for pan) 1.5 cup brown sugar, packed 2 Tbsp real maple syrup Preheat oven to 350°. Put white sugar and cinnamon into gallon zip lock bag. Zip and shake. Butter a bundt pan. Cut biscuits in half. Then cut each half twice. Each biscuit makes six pieces. Put into bag with cinnamon sugar. Every couple of biscuits or so, toss around in cinnamon sugar and put into buttered pan. Keep going until biscuits are complete and arranged evenly around in bundt pan. In glass bowl, put butter, brown sugar and maple. Melt together in microwave. Not sure how long, just take out every 30 -45 secs and stir it. You want the sugar to melt in the butter and make a sauce. Pour over biscuits in pan evenly. Put pan into oven on center rack and bake for about 35 mins. Check middle with a knife to make sure biscuits aren't doughy. When done, take out and within a minute, put large serving plate over pan and invert. Tap the pan to make sure the bread lets go. Lift it up and scrape out any sauce remaining onto bread. Enjoy! Gulping garoyles! Halloween is fast approaching which means stylish costumes, themed parties, and delicious delectables. One beverage that I'm sure you'll find available this season is butterbeer. This drink is the non-alcoholic version, but is still quite tasty. So while your waiting for your Hogwarts letter to this weekend's celebration at the Three Broomsticks mix up a pint of butterbeer. If you're hosting a party, I'm sure that serving this will get you 10 points for Griffindor! Ingredients: MIXTURE 1 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoon water 5 tablespoon butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (or rum) extract CREAM 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream 2 tablespoons of mixture DRINK 1/4 cup mixture 12 oz cream soda top with cream FYI...I, personally, think that IBC Cream Soda tastes best with this recipe.
