Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
Mexican chocolate shavings and cocoa powder, garnish

Directions

Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small saucepan, cook the sugar over medium heat until it starts to melt. Lower the
heat and cook until caramelized to a golden brown. (Do not stir or touch the sugar, but
swirl the pan to melt evenly.)

Pour into a metal flan mold or 9-inch cake pan. Turn the dish and swirl to evenly coat the
bottom. Let caramel cool and harden.

Place the dish in a larger roasting pan and add hot water to come halfway up the sides of
the baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the condensed and evaporated milks
and Kahlua and whisk well to blend. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until set and just
firm in the center but still jiggles slightly, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool on a wire
rack. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.

To serve, run a thin sharp knife around the rim of the flan. Place a platter or large
plate on top of the flan and gently flip over so the plate is on the bottom. Lift away the
mold. Garnish with powdered cocoa and top with Mexican chocolate shavings.

Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
