Ingredients

• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 60 milliliters water
• 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
• 400 milliliters whole milk
• 60 milliliters brewed strong coffee
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place a large roasting pan in the oven and fill it halfway with hot water to create a bain-marie for baking the flan.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine 150 grams of granulated sugar and 60 milliliters of water over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Immediately and carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, brewed coffee, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the flan mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps or bubbles, then gently pour it over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.

Step 5

Carefully place the baking dish into the preheated roasting pan with water, ensuring the water level reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

Step 6

Bake the flan for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow the flan to cool to room temperature. Then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 8

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen the flan. Place a large serving plate over the top of the dish and quickly invert it to release the flan. The caramel will flow over the custard, creating a glossy sauce.

Step 9

Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy!
