Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 397 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 354 milliliters Evaporated milk
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 118 milliliters Brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 large Eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 150 grams of granulated sugar (reserve the rest) and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until it melts into a golden caramel. Be careful not to burn it.
Immediately pour the hot caramel into the bottom of a round baking dish (about 8 inches in diameter), tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, brewed espresso, vanilla extract, the remaining granulated sugar (50 grams), eggs, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the caramel-lined baking dish. This helps ensure a silky texture by removing any egg solids.
Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan and carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish. This creates a water bath for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
To unmold, run a knife around the edges of the flan. Place a serving platter larger than the dish on top, then carefully invert it to release the flan. The caramel will flow over the top as a beautiful sauce.
Slice into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy your rich and creamy Flan De Cafe!
