Categories: Mexican Dessert Cheese
Yield: 6 Servings

1/2	c	Sugar
2		Eggs
2		Eggs; yolks only
1	c	Milk
14	oz	Sweetened condensed milk
1	ts	Instant coffee powder

=A silky custard with light coffee flavor.

Heat sugar in a 7-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When sugar begins to melt, reduce heat to medium. Continue to cook sugar, stirring occasionally. When sugar is melted and browned, immediately spoon over bottom and sides of a shallow 1-quart baking dish. Set aside for caramel to cool.

Preheat oven to 325F (165C). Place whole eggs and egg yolks in blender. Process until smooth. Add milk, condensed milk and coffee powder. Blend thoroughly. Pour into baking dish lined with caramelized sugar. Place baking dish in a baking pan. Pour hot water into pan half way up sides of baking dish. Bake about 1-1/2 hours or until knife inserted off-center comes out clean. Cover flan loosely with foil if necessary to prevent excessive browning.

Remove baking dish from pan of hot water. Cool, then refrigerate at least 3 hours.

To serve, run a knife around top edge and invert flan onto a serving plate.
