Leche Flan Donuts
When one’s love for creamy leche flan collides with an obsession with donuts, you’ve got the local dessert scene’s latest treat: leche flan donuts. Golden-brown donuts with a hefty serving of creamy leche flan on top – it may seem like sweetness overload, but local bakeries have found a way to keep the pastry balanced and indulgently creamy. As the name implies, these treats combine leche flan (usually in the form of a leche-flan cream plus a separate topping of leche flan) and doughnuts (often of the brioche sort). It started as a quarantine food business featured on Food Insider that is now fast gaining ground as a specialty doughnut. This Filipino-inspired doughnut is made with fried dough balls filled with leche flan custard and topped with a round of creamy leche flan. It's served sprinkled with powdered sugar.
