This kona coffee dessert looked so good I had to share it with everyone.
Kona Coffee Flan
1/2 gallon whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 sticks cinnamon
2 whole eggs
4 each egg yolk
1/3 cup brewed Kona coffee
1 Tablespoon coffee liqueur
Makes 10 servings
In saucepan, heat the milk, cinnamon and sugar over low heat. Simmer and reduce by 1/2. Discard cinnamon stick. Place the reduced milk mixture, eggs, yolks, coffee, and Kona coffee liqueur in a food processor and blend
thoroughly. Strain.
Preheat oven to 300. Lightly grease ramekins. Place 2 tbsp. caramel into bottom of each ramekin (to make caramel, place 1lb sugar and 1 cup of water in heavy saucepan. Cook til mixture is a deep golden brown). Fill with 4 oz.
of milk mixture. Place ramekins in hotel pan. Pour enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 300 until set (about 20 minutes), but still slightly soft in the center.

Looks like you lucked out of Hurricane Flossie. Keep those batteries and all that bottled water. Keep them in your earthquake supplies closet.
That flan sounds good. I'll have to try it. And did you see the Macadamia Cake that Chubby Hubby's wife made for him? With a lime syrup glaze? Yum!

The link below ought to take you to the cake recipe but if it doesn't, just let me know and I will cut and paste it to you. You should peek in at CH's blog now and then. He and his wife are world class foodies out of Singapore.
