Taste of the World: Classic Coffee Flan Recipe by Denisse.

If you still don't know how to surprise your family and friends, here is a delicious recipe that will leave your guests asking for more.

Ingredients:

5 large eggs
1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 tsp powdered expresso coffee
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp coffee liquor

For the caramel:

1 cups sugar
2 tsp  water

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350ºF

Place the sugar and water in a heavy bottom pan and, stir lightly and place at medium-high heat until it caramelizes into a rich, amber color.

Remove from the heat. Pour the liquid caramel into a 9 inch cake  pan. Set aside.

In a blender or electric mixer, combine the eggs, evaporated and condensed milk, coffee,  vanilla and liquor and blend well for at least two minutes, until you have a smooth, homogeneous mass.

Pass through a sieve.

Pour the mix into the cake pan. Place in a deep-sided pan and pour hot water to reach less than halfway up the sides of the cake pan.

Bake for at least an hour or until the flan jiggles slightly when shaken and a paring knife comes out clean when inserted in the center.

Remove the pan from the water and set aside to cool.  Once at room temperature, refrigerate the flan until well chilled to allow to set. Overnight is best

To serve, unmold the flan by running a small paring knife along the inside of the pan. Cover the pan with a dish and invert.
