Awesome flan recipe, my friends love it and insist that it make it weekly. Personally, I don't use the chocolate shavings or cocoa. My girlfriend loves it because the Kahlúa masks the egg flavor/smell which makes her sick to her stomach. I also make the flan with Chambord instead of Kahlúa to switch-it-up. I wonder if Jäger might also work?

My husband and I didn't want coffee-flavoured flan, so I used real Mexican vanilla instead of the Kahlua, and it turned out just perfectly. You do have to be very, very careful when making the caramel though. It can go from not-quite-right to burnt in a matter of seconds. I'm not sure why Emeril insisted on not stirring it though, but I followed his instructions precisely just to be safe. The texture of the flan itself was just a tiny bit mealy, but nonetheless delicious - just not sure if it's supposed to be smoother than that - it's been a while since I'd had homemade flan. I won't take away a single star though from this rating, because it could have been my error, and it was still beautiful.

It took me three tries to get the sugar melted right and I wasn't at all sure it would come out right in the end. I was pleasantly surprised when I removed the mold. It was a beautiful presentation and the taste was decadent. I almost reduced the number of eggs after reading the reviews. I'm glad I didn't. I found the texture to be perfect.

As for the sugar, I admit I resorted to a wooden spoon on the third try. Also, I might up the kahlua some the next time.

I've tried a few flan recipes in the past, but this one has to be the easiest and the best consistency. Everybody absolutely loved this flan! I top mine with whipped cream instead, but still very delicious!

My family and boyfriend loved this flan when I made it for Christmas last year. I keep making it for special occasions.
