Caramelized Coffee Flan

Submitted by breezermom

"Ooooh! Flan! With a carmelized crust....and a hint of coffee flavor...luscious! Only make when you have company, so you don't make a pig of yourself!! It's important to use a nice heavy saucepan to carmelize the sugar so it doesn't scorch or burn. Prep time does not include the 8 hour chill time!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 40mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

directions

1. Place the sugar in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar crystallizes into lumps (about 15 minutes). Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a light golden brown (about 15 minutes). Quickly pour the hot caramel mixture into an ungreased 8 inch round cakepan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside. (The mixture will harden -- this is supposed to happen!).
2. Combine eggs and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a wire whisk until the coffee granules dissolve. Pour the egg mixture over the caramelized sugar in the cakepan.
3. Place the cakepan in a large shallow baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish to a depth of 1 inch. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center of the flan comes out clean.
4. Remove pan from water, and let cool. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
5. To serve, loosen the edge of the custard with a spatula, and invert onto a serving plate.

Delicious but wayyyy too sweet. I would cut down on the condensed milk and use more regular milk. I also used decaf instant coffee granules so it wouldn't keep me up :)

Fabulous flan! The touch of coffee is perfect in this. I did most of the mixing with my KA mixer and the whipping beater, but the coffee granules took longer than expected to dissolve, so I hand-whisked it a bit before pouring it into the pan. Definitely a keeper, thanks for posting! Made for Sweet December Tag 2014
