🍮 ☕ Coffee flan to prepare at home:
Ingredients
• 4 eggs
• 500 ml of whole milk
• 150 g of sugar
• 1 cup of strong coffee (about 100 ml)
• 100 g of additional sugar for the caramel
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation
1. Caramel:
- Place the 100g of sugar in a pan over medium heat.
- Let it melt and turn golden without stirring too much.
- Pour the caramel into the bottom of a flan mold and spread it evenly.
2. Flan mixture:
- Beat the eggs with the sugar until you have a smooth mixture.
- Add the milk, coffee, and vanilla, mixing gently.
3. Cooking:
- Pour the mixture over the caramel in the mold.
- Place the mold inside a tray with hot water (bain-marie).
- Bake at 180°C for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Cooling and demolding:
- Let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Unmold by running a knife around the edges and turning it out onto a plate.
✨ Result: a smooth flan, with an intense coffee aroma and the sweet contrast of caramel.
