Jamaican Coffee Flan Recipes

COFFEE FLAN {COFFEE CRéME CARAMEL}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and have a baking tray (large enough to hold eight 4-ounce ramekins) and hot water ready.
• Lightly grease the ramekins with butter or oil.

COFFEE FLAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350° F. Prepare the mold for the water bath.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the sugar into a small pot; place over medium heat; without moving it too much. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Once it melts, remove from heat so that it doesn't get too dark; if it does, it will taste bitter. Quickly pour into mold you will use for the flan. Distribute caramel evenly until it coats the bottom and sides. Be very careful so you don't get burned.
• Mix all the ingredients in blender. Strain and pour mixture into mold with the caramel.
• Place the flan mold in a water bath and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
• Let it cool at room temperature and refrigerate until it's time to unmold and serve it.

COCONUT FLANS WITH COFFEE CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Stir together espresso powder and water until powder is dissolved.
• Cook 1/2 cup sugar with a pinch of salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel.
• Remove caramel from heat and whisk in espresso (mixture will steam and bubble vigorously). Once bubbles begin to subside, immediately divide mixture among ramekins, tilting to coat bottoms, and let stand until hardened, about 10 minutes.
• While caramel hardens, bring coconut milk and whole milk just to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring, then remove from heat. Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, salt, and remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a large bowl, then add warm milk mixture in a stream, whisking. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure.
• Divide custard among ramekins. Arrange ramekins on towel in a small roasting pan lined with a folded kitchen towel (bottom only). Bake custards in a hot water bath, uncovered, in middle of oven until custards are set around edges but still tremble slightly in centers, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Run a thin knife around side of each flan to loosen, then transfer ramekins to a rack and cool completely. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 4 hours.
• To unmold, invert small plates over ramekins and invert flans onto plates.

COFFEE FLAN

Steps:

• In a clear, microwave-safe bowl, combine water and sugar. Stir well under sugar is completely dissolved.
• Microwave on high for about 4 to 5 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold. Immediately pour into llaneras or ramekins and swirl to coat the bottom.
• In a bowl, gently whisk eggs until there are no streaks of white.
• Add condensed milk and stir until combined.
• Add evaporated milk and stir until well-combined.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the custard mixture.
• In a small bowl, combine coffee granules and warm water. Stir until coffee is completely dissolved and let cool completely.
• Add dissolved coffee, vanilla extract, and salt to the strained custard and stir until blended.
• Pour into prepared ramekins. Cover ramekins with foil and arrange in a wide, oven-safe dish with about 1-inch of water (water bath).
• Bake in a 375 F oven for about 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.
• Remove from oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate to set.
• To serve, turn flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.

COFFEE FLAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Set a 7-inch cake (or pie) pan with 2-inch high sides inside of a larger baking pan or casserole dish (such as a 13 x 9-inch dish).
• In a small sauce pan, add instant coffee and water and heat until dissolved over medium heat. Add granulated sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, swirling pan several times until sugar is completely dissolved. Cook for about 5 minutes until mixture is golden brown. Careful not to scorch caramel.
• Carefully pour coffee caramel sauce into 7-inch pan. Set aside and allow to cool and harden.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, add instant coffee and warm water, whisking until coffee has dissolved. Add eggs one at a time whisking thoroughly between each addition. Continue with egg yolks.
• Once all eggs and yolks have been incorporated, add granulated sugar and combine. Add sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla extract whisking gently until combined. Careful to not mix too vigorously to prevent too many bubbles.
• Carefully pour flan mixture into prepared pan. Cover baking pan tightly with aluminum foil. Make a water bath by pouring water into larger roasting pan - outside of cake pan - until water reaches half way up outside of cake pan holding flan.
• Place on middle rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until set around edges with a slight jiggle in middle.
• Once flan is done baking, carefully remove from oven. Carefully remove flan from water bath and set aside. Remove aluminum foil or topper from pan and allow flan to come to room temperature.
• When flan is at room temp, replace aluminum foil or top and place into refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to serve, remove flan from fridge, run a butter knife along sides of pan to help release any portion of flan that may have become stuck during baking. Place a large enough plate (preferably with sides) over flan pan and quickly flip over. (Note: If flan has sat in fridge overnight, please remove about 30 minutes before ready to serve)
• Once flan has been flipped, gently attempt to lift pan up. If you notice flan has not yet released, gently push down on bottom of pan and gently push sides. This should help release flan onto dish.
• Slice and serve immediately, spooning extra Coffee Caramel Sauce on top. Enjoy!

JAMAICAN COFFEE FLAN

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 326ºF. Place six 1/2 cup ramekins in large baking pan. Place pan in oven and heat until dishes are hot, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring 3/4 cup sugar and water to boil in heavy small saucepan stirring until sugar dissolves. Wash down any sugar crystals with a wet pastry brush. Continue boiling, without stirring, until mixture turns golden brown, about 10 minutes. Immediately divide caramel mixture among ramekins. Carefully tilt ramekins to coat sides with caramel mixture. Cool ramekins completely. Bring milk and cream to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in instant coffee. Whisk eggs and egg yolks to combine in large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup superfine sugar and coffee liqueur. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture. Strain. Divide custard among prepared ramekins. Return ramekins to large baking pan. Add enough hot simmering water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until edges are set and centers move only slightly when flans are gently shaken, about 35 minutes. Remove flans from water. Cook 15 minutes. Run small sharp knife around edge of flans to loosen. Refrigerate overnight or up to two days. Invert onto plates and serve.

JAMAICAN COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Combine butter and sugar, beating until almost white. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then bananas. Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Fold in combined dry ingredients a little at a time until completely incorporated and mixture is smooth. Pour into buttered and floured 8-inch cake tin and bake for 40 minutes. Turn onto wire rack to cool. Regrease cake tin with butter only and set aside.
• For filling: Beat together sugar and butter until almost white. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating thoroughly before each addition. Mix together cocoa and coffee. Then add Tia Maria to coffee/cocoa mixture and add all to filling.
• Cut cake into 2 layers, horizontally, and place 1 layer in bottom of greased cake pan. Cover with half of filling and then the remaining layer of cake. Top with remaining filling. To rid cake of air holes, hold it 12 inches from table and drop it so it lands flat. Repeat this twice. Cover cake with plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours. Serve ice cold with vanilla ice cream.
• *RAW EGG WARNING
• Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
