Made for PAC 2010. I love flan, it is one dessert I love. Sweet, but the coffee really balances out the sweetness. Easy and quick to put together. I really think using a quality instant coffee makes the dish even better. I baked mine in individual dishes, but one dish works just fine. It was for a special event so I used separate dishes.
