Ingredients

- Milk 3¾ glasses
- Chicken Egg 5 pieces
- Water 6 teaspoons
- Vanilla salt 1 tablespoon
- Instant coffee 4½ spoons
- Salt 0,1 teaspoons
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place a glass or ceramic round baking dish (about 8-9 inches in diameter) in an oven preheated to 320°F.
Step 2
Combine water (2 tablespoons) with sugar in a small saucepan, place over medium heat, and stir until it comes to a boil. Wait for the sugar to dissolve, then immediately pour the sugar syrup into a skillet and continue melting the sugar without stirring.
Step 3
When the sugar turns a dark amber color, quickly pour the caramel into the preheated baking dish. Tilt the dish a few times to allow the caramel to spread evenly across the bottom. Let it cool and then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
Dissolve the coffee in hot water (4 tablespoons), let it cool slightly, and blend it with milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt.
Step 5
Pour the prepared cream over the set caramel and immediately place it in the oven.
Step 6
Bake the flan in a water bath for about 70-80 minutes at 320°F, placing it on the middle rack of the oven. (The flan is considered done when the egg mixture turns into a firm, jelly-like consistency.)
Step 7
Place the finished flan in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, but do not freeze.
Step 8
To unmold the flan, first carefully run a thin knife around the edges to separate it from the sides of the mold. Then, place the mold directly into a bowl of hot water. After 20 seconds, remove the mold from the water, quickly cover it with a large, deep plate, flip it over, and repeat the process with another plate.
Step 9
Before serving, allow the chilled flan to warm up at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes.
