Coffee and Kahlua flan is a popular dessert in Latin America and Spain. Its origins date back to Roman times, where the dessert was made with milk, honey, and eggs. The modern flan we know today is a variation of this, and it is made with sugar, eggs, and milk. The addition of coffee and Kahlua gives this recipe a unique twist. The dessert is typically served chilled and is a refreshing end to any meal. Its smooth custard-like texture and rich flavor make it a dessert that is sure to impress.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup over low heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
3.Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Stop stirring and cook until the syrup turns a dark amber color.
4.Quickly pour the caramel into eight 6-ounce ramekins. Tilt the ramekins to distribute the caramel evenly in the bottoms.
5.Combine the condensed milk, half-and-half, whole milk, cinnamon bark, Kahlua, and coffee in a medium saucepan.

7.Remove from heat and let the cinnamon steep for 10 minutes.
8.Strain the liquid into a bowl.
9.In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and vanilla.
10.Gradually whisk in the milk mixture.
11.Divide the mixture equally between the ramekins.
12.Put the ramekins in a baking pan and fill with hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
13.Bake until the centers of the flans are set, which will take about 35-40 minutes.
14.Let cool to room temperature.
15.Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
