How to Make Coffee Flan
Ingredients:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
4 large eggs
1 cup brewed coffee
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until golden brown to create caramel. Pour the caramel into a flan mold or individual ramekins.
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the caramel in the mold.
Place the flan mold in a larger baking pan filled with water (water bath).
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set.
Allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
How to Serve Coffee Flan
Serve your Coffee Flan chilled. It’s best enjoyed with a sprinkle of coffee grounds on top or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor. You can also pair it with a fresh cup of coffee for a delightful experience.
How to Store Coffee Flan
Store any leftover Coffee Flan in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover it to prevent it from absorbing other odors from the fridge.
Tips to Make Coffee Flan
Make sure the caramel is not too dark, as it can become bitter.
Blend the mixture until smooth to avoid lumps in your flan.
Check if the flan is set by gently shaking it; it should be firm but have a slight jiggle in the center.
Variation
You can change the coffee flavor by adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the mixture. Another fun variation is to mix in some chocolate or mocha flavors for a richer dessert.
