Ingredients

• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 50 ml Water
• 397 g Sweetened condensed milk
• 350 ml Evaporated milk
• 250 ml Whole milk
• 5 Eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Instant coffee granules
• 0.25 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).

Step 2

To make the caramel, combine the granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let the mixture simmer until it turns a deep amber color, about 8–10 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully pour the hot caramel into a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish, tilting it to ensure the bottom is evenly coated. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then slowly whisk them into the milk mixture.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract, instant coffee granules, and salt to the mixture. Whisk until the coffee granules dissolve and the mixture is smooth.

Step 7

Carefully pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a water bath.

Step 9

Bake the flan in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 11

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a large serving plate or platter over the baking dish and quickly invert it. Tap gently to release the flan, letting the caramel sauce drizzle over the top.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Vanilla Coffee Flan!
