coffee cream caramel cake

Ingredients:

FOR CARAMEL:
150g Fine Granulated Sugar
4 tbsps Water

For the Flan:
400ml Sweetened Condensed Milk
200ml full fat Milk
225ml Cream (I used nestle cream)
1 stick of Cinnamon
2 pods of caradamom
2 tbsps of Instant coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp water
5 eggs (room temp) -
1 tsp vanilla essence
(a kettle full of boiling water)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 160C / 315F / Gas mark 2.5

For Caramel:
Put Sugar in hot pan on medium high heat add water.
Allow mixture to slowly brown...takes a few minutes, stir occassionaly with wooden spoon.

As soon as it begins to caramelize keep stirring...when it golden brown remove from heat...pour the caramel to your flan dish or in your individual small cups.

FOR COFFEE SAUCE:
Add milk and cream to the warm saucepan on medium high heat..add condensed milk, vanilla essence, dissolved coffee, cinnamon stick, caradmon pods, stir till well combined. Allow it to come to a boil...then remove from heat...Let it steep for a few minutes to infuse flavours.

Now..in a separate bowl briefly whisk the eggs...now slowly add small amount of coffee sauce to the whisked eggs...and whisk it ...add remaining sauce and mix it well.

When well combined..then strain the coffee sauce through sieve into a clean bowl...

Now...take a big baking pan or a deep roaster pan....put a kitchen towel in it...and your flan dish. Now pour coffee sauce over your caramel ....

Now fill the deep pan with hot water about a third full...this is called a "Bain Marie" (cooking in a water bath) this prevents overheating or burning...put tray in the oven...and bake for 15-20 mins...or until set. (gently shake flan dish to check they have set) remove from oven.

Allow to cool and remove from the tray..chill...place in the fridge for a couple of hours.....

How to serve?
with a sharp small knife loosen flan...turn over on your serving dish...you can place a warm towel for the caramel to melt and pop out of the flan dish :)

Now go make this and enjoy the yummy coffee cream caramel :) yumzzz

Your guests will rav about it...if they love coffee..I think you can even substitute it for Chocolate..so make a choc flan or choc / coffee mix for mocha flan :) wow...we are full of ideas arent's we ?
