How to Make Coffee Flan

Make caramel
Prepare a pot, add 55gr of sugar and 3 tablespoons of water, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. When the sugar boils, reduce to low heat and continue cooking for another 5 – 7 minutes until it turns a chestnut color, then turn off the heat and pour the caramel into a mold to cool.
Tip:
- To easily observe the color of the caramel, use a light-colored pot, avoiding dark colors.
- Avoid not stirring the caramel while cooking; just hold the pot handle and stir evenly.
- To achieve a beautiful golden-brown caramel, add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice when the sugar has melted.

Warm the milk
Take a cup to soak 60gr of gelatin powder in 150ml of cold water for 10 – 15 minutes.
Then prepare another pot on the stove with 500ml of unsweetened fresh milk and 70gr of sugar, cooking over medium heat for 7 – 10 minutes.
When the milk starts to bubble, reduce the heat and add the softened gelatin, stirring for 5 – 7 minutes before turning off the heat and transferring to a bowl.
Tip: If you are using sweetened milk, you can reduce the amount of sugar.
