Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 2 tablespoon Instant coffee
- 2 cup Milk
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns into a caramel syrup.
- Pour the caramel syrup into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a separate saucepan, heat milk until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in instant coffee until dissolved.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture.
- Pour the custard mixture over the caramel syrup in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flan to set completely.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert the flan onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel syrup to drizzle over the top.
- Slice and serve chilled.
