How to Make Puto Flan. Use your eggs and do not waste them. Make this using the egg yolks and egg whites in this easy recipe.
Hey, guys! Today, I am sharing this Filipino dessert which is a combination of the two favorite Filipino desserts – Leche Flan and Puto Cheese Usually, it is served on special occasions like Christmas, but in my household, I made it just because…
This recipe is very simple to make! So, this should, hopefully, meet your requirement of how a delicious dessert should be, so I am excited to share it with you, guys.
This Puto Flan is my go-to recipe for any party I attend because it is very easy to make. It may seem like it is difficult, but once you get the hang of it, it is easy peasy. I made it again for some friends. You can make it ahead of time so that you can focus on other things in your household. This recipe will yield 22 pieces which I think is enough for a large crowd.
If you have a large amount of eggs at home, make this recipe:
Ingredients
- FOR THE FLAN
- 4 egg yolks separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 can 14 oz condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
FOR THE PUTO

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cup water

- In a steamer, boil ten cups of water.
- In a small bowl, mix all of the flan ingredients and pour 1/8 cup flan mixture in the puto mold. Steam f on high heat or 10- 12 minutes. Remove from the steamer.
- in another bowl Mix all of the Puto ingredients. Set aside.
- Pour 1/8 cup of the puto mixture on top of the steamed flan mixture and steam again on high heat for 15-19 minutes. Do the same to rest of the flan mixture.
- Remove Puto Flan from the mold using by using a sharp knife and serve hot.

The recipe yields more than a dozen but I think everybody will want more, so more than a dozen is good enough. I have not tried changing this recipe, so I cannot give you other than this. 🙂
Jenn says
Can i make 1 dozen only? What are the measurements? Thankyou
Shobelyn Dayrit says
The Puto will yield 18-20 and the Leche Flan will serve 10 people if you slice it small, but my son can eat it in one sitting, though.
Jennele says
Hello! How many servings it is?

I tried this recipe at home im dissapointed the flan and the puto didnt stick… where did i go wrong?
Shobelyn Dayrit says
Hi, Carolyn. I am so glad that you are wanting to explore your Filipino roots; I am so happy about that and so proud of you. With regards to the steaming mold, I got this in the Philippine 19 years ago and hasn’t find the same one here in the US, but you can try this silicon mold which they carry in Walmart and also in Amazon.https://www.walmart.com/ip/24-Pack-Reusable-Silicone-Baking-Cups-Cupcake-Liners-Muffin-Cups-Cake-Molds/798066472

Hi Shobee,
I’m new at cooking, baking, and whipping up home cooked meals at home. But have been wanting to explore my Filipino roots more through food…. and why not start off with my favorites. Flan and puto. I want to try this recipe, but want to start off with the right equipment. Where do I get puto molds? Is it something I can order from Amazon?
Thank you,
Carolyn
