About this recipe

The no-bake coffee flan is a dessert that reminds me of my grandmother. She didn't have a Thermomix, of course, but she always prepared a traditional egg flan that was the star of every family meal. This coffee flan is my modern version, adapted to the convenience of the Thermomix and with a touch of coffee that makes it irresistible. It is a simple but elegant dessert, perfect to end a meal with a sweet and comforting flavor. Milk is the base of this flan, providing creaminess and smoothness. I use whole milk for a richer result, but you can use semi-skimmed milk if you prefer a lighter option. Eggs are essential for the texture, providing the characteristic consistency of the flan. Sugar, in addition to sweetening, helps to lightly caramelize the surface during tempering, creating a delicious contrast. Coffee essence is the star ingredient, providing an intense and aromatic flavor. It is important to use a good quality essence for optimal results. Neutral gelatin is crucial for the flan to set without the need for an oven. For the preparation, it is essential to hydrate the gelatin well to avoid lumps. When heating the milk in the Thermomix, be sure not to exceed the indicated temperature to prevent it from burning. When incorporating the hot milk into the eggs, do it little by little and stirring constantly to prevent them from cooking and forming lumps. If you see that the cream thickens too much during cooking in the Thermomix, you can add a little more milk. Straining the cream is an important step to eliminate any impurities and obtain a smooth and silky texture. When adding the hydrated gelatin, make sure it dissolves completely so that the flan sets evenly. For a vegetarian version, the neutral gelatin can be substituted with agar-agar, a seaweed with gelling properties. For a vegan version, vegetable milk (almond, soy or coconut) can be used and the eggs can be replaced with apple sauce or ripe banana. You can also add spices such as cinnamon, vanilla or cardamom to give the flan a different touch. To serve, it can be decorated with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, coffee beans or a caramel sauce. It can also be accompanied with cookies or a sponge cake. The coffee flan can be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer until serving time. To defrost, it should be transferred to the refrigerator a few hours before serving. It keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
