Cafe Con Leche Custard Cups are a creative dessert recipe that brings together the classic flavors of a Spanish coffee and traditional custard to create a unique dessert experience. The dessert is easy to prepare, requiring only a few simple ingredients and a little bit of baking skill. The dessert is creamy and indulgent, but not too heavy, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2.	In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt until blended. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring until smooth. Whisk in condensed milk, then egg yolks, coffee granules, and vanilla extract until blended.
3.	Evenly divide mixture among 8 (6-ounce) custard cups. Place dishes in a large baking pan; add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of dishes.
4.	Bake 35 minutes or until custards are set. Remove cups from water and cool completely on a wire rack.
5.	Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight. To serve, top each custard with whipped topping and sprinkle with additional coffee granules, if desired.
