- If you like 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞, you are going to like my Flan De Café con Leche recipe. This recipe has been requested several times here on the Cuban Redneck DIY channel and, most recently, by a viewer named Linda. Although I know that many are going to say what is the big deal anyone can make a 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞, that is not the case, and I am not trying to make a run-of-the-mill Flan de Café!
I am seeking the particular taste profile of a 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐜𝐡! If you have never been to South Florida, this may raise more questions than anything else, but nevertheless, here goes nothing. You have four main options if you go to a Cuban Caferia or Bakery in the South Florida area looking for Cuban Coffee (Café Cubano). El Cafesito, which is a single serving of 𝐂𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞. La colada, which serves 6 or 10 depending on whether the crow is Cuban or not. El cortadito, which is a 50/50 mix of Cuban Coffee and steamed milk. And the infamous Café con Leche which is about 90% steamed milk and 10% Cuban Coffee. And please don’t confuse this with a LATTE. It is not even in the same zip code.
For months now, I have been experimenting with different 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞, and there are plenty of variations. There is the Mexican Flan De Café. There is a Spanish Flan De Café and even a Philipino variety. I made several versions, and they all failed to meet the taste profile I was seeking: an authentic Cuban Café con Leche. But I have good news after many tries, I have a Cuban Flan de Café con Leche recipe every coffee lover needs to try!
𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:
• 1.5 Cups of White Sugar (for the Caramel)
• 2 Cups of Whole Milk
• 3 oz. of Cream Cheese
• 2 Tablespoons of Decaffeinated Instant Coffee
• 1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 5 Egg Yolks (This delivered a flan that was a bit firm, I will be trying 4 next time around)

What sets my Flan de Café recipe apart is that instead of making a flan and adding coffee, I started by making Café con Leche and made a flan out of it! So, let’s get going. We’ll begin by bringing two cups of whole milk (the best stuff you can find) and bringing it to a boil over medium-low heat. The low temp is critical since we are not just trying to heat the milk. We are trying to reduce it by 10-15%. We must constantly whisk it to avoid buildup at the bottom of the saucepan. This is going to take about 4-5 minutes.
After the milk has reduced by about 10-15%, turn off the heat, and take it off the stove. Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk and whisk it until fully dissolved. That is followed by 3 oz. of cream cheese. I used Philadelphia, but any plain cream cheese will do! Keep mixing until dissolved. I know some people are going to say that if you cut the cheese into little pieces, it will dissolve quicker, but all you are saving is maybe 3 or 4 revolutions.
Next, we add two tablespoons of Decaffeinated Instant Coffee. This was a recommendation by a friend who is a chef. According to him, instant decaf has less of an aftertaste when cooked or baked. Mix everything well and taste the ratio of coffee to sweet! And yes, it needs to be a little on the sweet side. Once we add the eggs, it will mild down quite a bit!
With the Flan de Café mixture ready, we need to make some dry caramel. Yes, this will end up being a 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝. Over low heat, let’s add 1.25 to 1.5 cups of white sugar to a saucepan or skillet. On my stove, #2 works best. Don’t add water. Don’t stir it. Don’t do anything. This is going to take 8-10 minutes. If anything, just shake the pan to get the dry sugar wet as it starts to melt. Once all the sugar is dissolved, lower the heat to #1 and look for smoke puffs. At this time, you can pour your caramel into your flanera or Flan Mold. Let it sit for a minute, then rotate and twist the mold until all the walls are covered. If you leave all the caramel at the bottom, you will have very little extra caramel sauce for your flan.
I am cooking my Flan de Café Y Leche in the Instant Pot, where it will be done in 30 minutes, in pressure cooking, high mode, with two cups of water. You can also bake this Flan de Café in the oven using abain-marie (water bath) method. In the over, it will take 1 hour at 375 degrees. Make sure the oven is preheated before placing the flan.
As previously mentioned, if you like Café con Leche (Coffee with Heavy Cream), you are going to love this 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐞 (Coffee Caramel Custard) recipe. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to seeing you next week with a new video recipe.

Where did you find the plate for the flan? I need one like that for mine. It always has so much caramel and I end up pouring it out 😣
... that plate came from a local store called Bealls Outlet. They have a department of odd kitchen stuff and somewhat of a treasure hunt. ROSS has a similar department.
Hola, voy a hacer Este flan porque me gusta mucho el cafe. Cuando va hacer una receta de lechon asado Cubano? Gracias 🙏👍

I’m a professional chef and I would like to say you did a great job I think you said you’re just a home baker and cook you do a great job thank you very much I’m going to try it JP from Miami. I got into an accident couple years ago I don’t do it anymore. I worked for very big hotels and being in Miami. I learned a lot of things here I work with Cuban chefs that taught me a lot JP from Miami. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family.
… hey Larry, sorry to hear that, and thank you for stopping by. I don’t call myself a chef because I don’t have any formal culinary education. However, I worked in the food industry for over a decade. I got married very young, and having two jobs was not an option. In the 80s, going to the backdoor of any busy restaurant and getting hired on the spot was easy. I was not too fond of washing dishes, so did put a lot of effort into moving up the rank to line cook and eventually sous-chef. And I, too, did my rounds in hotels like Eden Rock and the Fountain Blue Hilton but gathered the most experience working at small mom-and-pop Cuban restaurants like the original Yuca. Years after walking away from that life, I still enjoy dining somewhere and coming home trying to figure out how to replicate that recipe.
