This dessert of European origin, very popular in Latin America and Spain, combines the smoothness of traditional flan with the intense aroma of coffee, creating a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness.

The recipe is easy and does not require advanced baking skills. With basic ingredients like eggs, milk, sugar, coffee, and vanilla, you can prepare a spectacular dessert in just a few steps.
