Caramel Custard, also known as Pudim Flan, is a popular dessert that originated in Spain and Portugal but is now enjoyed all over the world. This sweet and silky dessert is made by combining eggs, sugar, and milk and baking it in a water bath until it sets. The addition of caramel on top gives it an indulgent touch that makes it perfect for special occasions like birthdays, weddings, or any other celebration. Caramel Custard is a simple yet elegant dessert that is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	Heat the brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes until it melts and turns golden brown.
3.	Pour the caramelized sugar into an 8-inch baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
4.	In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, milk, and coffee extract or strong coffee until well combined.
5.	Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and pour it over the caramel in the baking dish.
6.	Create a water bath for the baking dish by placing it into a larger pan and filling the outer pan with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the inner dish.
7.	Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8.	Remove the custard from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9.	To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish and quickly invert it onto a serving plate.
