70g Sugar
42g Glucose syrup
4 sachets Instant black coffee
30g Butter
75g Chocolate (dark or milk, as preferred)
1–2g Salt

Instructions

STEP 1 | MAKE THE CARAMEL BASE
  • Melt 200ml of sugar over low heat until it turns amber.
  • Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of ramekins or molds.
  • Let it cool and harden.
STEP 2 | PREPARE THE FLAN MIXTURE

In a large bowl, gently mix:

  • 120g egg yolks

  • 80g sugar

  • A pinch of salt

  • A few drops of vanilla

Slowly add 400ml Blue Band Multipurpose Cream and 175ml fresh milk while stirring gently to avoid creating bubbles.

Tip: Avoid vigorous mixing to prevent air bubbles in the flan.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.

STEP 3 | BAKE THE FLAN
  • Pour the flan mixture into the prepared caramel-lined molds.

  • Bake in a water bath (bain-marie) at 120°C (248°F) for 1 hour.

  • Let cool and refrigerate before serving.

STEP 4 | MAKE THE COFFEE CARAMEL SAUCE

Slowly melt 70g of sugar over low heat until it turns golden caramel.
Add 200ml Blue Band Multipurpose Cream and stir well.

Separately, dissolve 4 sachets of instant black coffee in 42g of glucose syrup (add a little water if needed).
Pour this into the caramel mixture.

Then, add:

  • 75g chocolate

  • 30g butter

  • 1–2g salt
    Stir until fully melted and smooth.

Blend the sauce for a silky finish.

Step 5 | SERVE
  • Carefully unmold the chilled flan.
  • Drizzle generously with the coffee caramel sauce.
  • Optionally, serve with fresh fruit or roasted almonds for extra flavor and texture.
