Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • In a clear, microwave-safe bowl, combine water and sugar. Stir well under sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Microwave on high for about 4 to 5 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold. Immediately pour into llaneras or ramekins and swirl to coat the bottom.
  • In a bowl, gently whisk eggs until there are no streaks of white.
  • Add condensed milk and stir until combined.
  • Add evaporated milk and stir until well-combined. 
  • Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the custard mixture.
  •  In a small bowl, combine coffee granules and warm water. Stir until coffee is completely dissolved and let cool completely.
  • Add dissolved coffee, vanilla extract, and salt to the strained custard and stir until blended. 
  • Pour into prepared ramekins. Cover ramekins with foil and arrange in a wide, oven-safe dish with about 1-inch of water (water bath).
  • Bake in a 375 F oven for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate to set.
  • To serve, turn flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.
