Orange-Coffee Flan is a decadent dessert that combines the flavors of sweet oranges and bold coffee in every creamy bite. This recipe takes the classic flan dessert and adds a unique twist with the addition of orange zest and instant espresso powder. Flan has always been a popular dessert in the Latin-American community, and this recipe adds a twist that would appeal to coffee lovers.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.	In a medium saucepan, melt sugar over low heat, stirring constantly.
3.	Once melted and golden brown in color, pour the caramel into a 9-inch fluted cake pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
4.	In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, vanilla extract, instant espresso powder, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
5.	Pour the mixture into the pan over the caramel.
6.	Place the pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water so that the water comes up halfway up the side of the flan.
7.	Bake for 70-75 minutes, until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
8.	Let the flan cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert the flan onto a serving platter.
