Newsletter  Winter 05: Coffee Flan (Recipe)


Coffee-Caramel Flan

Ingredients
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
2 Tbsp caramel topping
1 Tbsp General Foods
Cafe Vienna Coffee Drink mix
2 large egg white(s)

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350oF.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.  Gradually stir in milk.  Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until slightly thickened.  Stir in caramel topping and coffee drink mix.  Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk egg whites in a large heatproof bowl.  Very gradually stir hot milk mixture into egg whites.
  4. Pour about 1/3 cup of mixture into each of four 1/2cup ramekins.  Place ramekins in a shallow baking dish and add enough hot water (on outside of ramekins) to rise about 1 inch up sides of ramekins.
  5. Bake until firm and puffy, about 30 minutes.  Carefully remove baking dish from oven, lift out ramekins and let cool before serving.  To serve chilled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
