Recipe(tried): Flan de Cafe (Coffee Custard)

 Coffee Flan

1/3 cup sugar 
7 eggs 
7 tablespoons sugar 
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk 
4 teaspoons instant coffee 
1/2 cup water 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

In a mold, metal bowl or pot, place 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons water then mix it well. Cook this on medium heat on your stove until the sugar turns amber and caramelizes to a soft stage. Swirl the caramel around the mold, totally covering the interior.

Beat together eggs and the 7 tablespoons sugar; add milk, instant coffee dissolved in water, vanilla and cinnamon. Carefully pour into prepared pan and bake at 350  in a "ba o de Maria" (bain marie) for about 50 minutes or until golden. Test with a fork, it should come out clean. Remove from oven, cool and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
