leche flan with fruits

My husband recently invited three of his friends from work for dinner. He's very considerate though, he usually asks me first if it's alright. I like that. Tell you what, it's not easy to think of food to fix which appeals to anybody. No problem with the dessert though. This traditional dessert is a well-loved favorite back in Manila and not just back there. The Spanish influence on our food, having been under Spain for about 400 years, still remains. This dessert is also a Hispanic tradition and it's not unusual to find it in dessert menus in Mexican restaurants. It's often listed as flan. It's the same all-time favorite dessert. I also make a Venezuelan version of this using coconut milk instead of evaporated or regular milk. The texture is finer & lighter. I haven't met anybody who didn't like this dessert! So with a group of guys for dinner, with varied tastes in food, I didn't think twice, this is the dessert to fix! And I wasn't mistaken, they all loved it. Who wouldn't? This rich creamy dessert, with a caramelized sugar syrup running down the sides as you invert it onto a plate, is a sure winner.
