This is a delicious recipe! It's similar to the one I made from the back of my Nestles Clasico instant coffee jar. They called for 1-2 Tbls of instant coffee (I used 1) which added a wonderful flavor to it! My son said it tastes like a Caramel Frappuccino, and I have to agree! I also used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of 1/2. After cooling, I only refridgerated mine for 3 hours before having my first piece (and 2nd right after that!). Who has the patience to wait 24 hours? Not me!

I can't believe how good and how simple it was. I let my granddaughter make it. She is new to cooking and loves flan. When she was done she couldn't believe that was all she had to do.

This recipe was great! The sugar took a while to cook, but other than that it was simple and VERY tasty! Thanks for posting.

I was VERY worried about how this was going to turn out. It didn't seem to be cooking well at all and seemed to be too easy. It took 50 minutes to cook and I was only able to fridge for 5 hours.... but WOW! THIS IS AN AWESOME RECIPE. Extremely easy to make and tasted exactly like what you get at a Mexican restaurant. My MIL said that this was better than her Puerto Rican Grandmother's flan she had as a child. Thank you for this superior recipe. I wouldn't alter a thing.
