🍮☕ My Creamy Coffee Flan Recipe
This silky and indulgent coffee flan is the perfect dessert for coffee lovers. With its smooth texture, rich caramel topping, and delicate coffee flavor, it’s an elegant treat that’s ideal for special occasions or simply enjoying with an afternoon cup of coffee.
📝 Ingredients
For the Caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For the Coffee Flan:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (397 g)
- 1 can evaporated milk (360 ml)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Caramel
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the mixture turns into a deep golden caramel.
Carefully pour the caramel into a flan mold or baking dish, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly.
2. Prepare the Coffee Mixture
Warm the whole milk slightly and dissolve the instant coffee in it until completely blended.
3. Blend the Flan Base
In a blender, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, coffee-infused milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and optional sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
For an extra silky texture, strain the mixture before pouring it into the caramel-lined mold.
4. Bake the Flan
Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil.
Place it in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water to create a water bath.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
5. Chill and Serve
Allow the flan to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmolding.
Invert onto a serving plate and let the rich caramel sauce flow over the top.
🍽️ Helpful Tip:
For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra teaspoon of instant coffee or a splash of coffee liqueur for a sophisticated twist.
This creamy coffee flan is smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced with sweet caramel and aromatic coffee notes—an irresistible dessert for any coffee enthusiast! ☕🍮✨
