EASY TO MAKE COFFEE FLAN

This coffee flan is for grownups, it's easy to make, and I absolutely loved the combination of flavors, and you will too! Each spoonful is a pleasure for the senses, from the marbled golden caramel color to the aroma and flavor of coffee to the creamy texture of this rich flan de café.

For caramel coating – ½ cup sugar (white, granulated) – 1 tablespoon of water, may not be used, see notes For the coffee flan – 2 egg (large), or 3 medium – 1⅓ cup condensed milk – 1⅓ cup evaporated milk – ½ cup sugar (white, granulated) – ¼ cup Kahlúa Pumpkin Spice – 2 teaspoons instant coffee – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ingredients:

Step 1:

Mix sugar and water and cook in a heavy saucepan over low heat until thick dark caramel forms. Make sure it does not burn! You may need to stir it gently with a spatula to prevent it from burning on the hot spots. Pour carefully into a 5-cup baking pan and spread all over. Cool to room temperature, by then the caramel should have hardened.

Step 2:

In the blender vase, combine eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, sugar, Kahlúa, instant coffee, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture. Pour carefully into the baking pan, trying not to disturb the caramel layer.

Step 3:

Bake in a hot water bath (bain Marie) in preheated oven to 320 ºF [160ºC] for one hour or until a toothpick or thin knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4:

Remove from the oven and the water bath and cool to room temperature. Chill in the fridge. Loosen the edges of the flan with a toothpick. To unmold, place a serving plate on top of the mold (a deep-enough plate to retain the syrup) and invert. Serve still chilled.
