How to Make Best 2-Minute Coffee Flan:

• Make the caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar with water. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the sugar turns golden brown. Quickly pour this caramel into your serving cups and swirl to coat the bottom.
• Heat the milk: In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat milk in the microwave for 1 minute until warm but not boiling.
• Mix the flan base: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, ¼ cup sugar, instant coffee, vanilla, and salt until smooth and well mixed.
• Combine ingredients: Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. This prevents the eggs from cooking too fast.
• Strain the mixture: Pour the flan mixture through a fine strainer to remove any lumps and make it extra smooth.
• Fill and cook: Pour the flan mixture over the caramel in your cups. Microwave each cup for 30-45 seconds until the flan is just set but still jiggly in the center.
• Cool and serve: Let the flans cool for 5 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. To serve, run a knife around the edges and flip onto serving plates.
