Growing up in Spain, drinking coffee was an integral part of every breakfast meal and often part of an after-dinner ritual.
Flan and coffee speak to me about my childhood. Since my sons are being raised here in the United States, it is important to my husband and I to be able to instill values and traditions from our culture to them.
Cooking and baking together has always been an important way for us to give them insight into past experiences during my childhood abroad.
This weekend, I decided to create a coffee flavored caramel flan with them because, what better way to pair two staples from my childhood in the form of a delicious dessert?!
The best part is that we are now creating new memories together and we can include the coffee that we love in our home, which is Folgers. It is the perfect combination of the past and the present to create experiences that our boys will hopefully take with them into adulthood.
For nearly 120 years, The J.M. Smucker Company has been committed to offering quality products that bring families together to share memorable meals and moments. As a Hispanic family, sharing in and creating these memories is a very important part of our culture and our values.
Especially as a mother of sons, I know that it is my responsibility to prepare them for the future so they can be self-sufficient and productive adults. These moments are what that is all about!
For this particular recipe, I was thrilled to be able to use Folgers Classic Roast coffee and Folgers Flavors in caramel and vanilla latte. They were perfect for adding the rich Folgers coffee flavor that I love along with a hint of caramel to our flan. As you can see from our delicious photos, the best part of waking up is not only Folgers in your cup but also in your flan!
Let’s Discuss: What types of desserts would you love to add Folgers coffee flavor to?

Love that you get your kids involved in the kitchen. I wish my (and even more, my wife’s) parents had done that!
The coffee caramel flan looks so tempting! This looks easy to do and I can’t wait to try your recipe.
Ooh, yum I love flan and putting coffee and caramel together is a winning combination! Can’t wait to try and make my own!
Wow, how interesting that you managed to combine the two! I have to say I have never made a flan but it looks like there are lots of different ways to diversify it.
This looks like a great recipe, and thank you for giving us the nutritional facts too. Really nice!
It’s great how easy this is to make. My sister-in-law loves coffee and flan, I bet she’d enjoy this.
This looks so delicious and I want to make this amazing Flan! Thanks for the recipe!
YUM I would love to try this, but I don’t think I could be successful in making it!
I have never made flan before. But I am willing to try any recipe with coffee! Yum!
I absolutely love coffee, and coffee flavored anything 🙂 I have never made flan before, but love eating it. It always seemed really difficult, but I guess that isn’t the case! I will have to give this a try!
We love flan! Nothing is better than a nice dessert, a cup of coffee, and some good conversation.
I had never heard of Folger’s Flavors before – I’ve also never tried cooking with coffee creamer. Thank you for the recipe. I love flan – and this should be an interesting twist on it.
I love Folgers Flavors. I never thought to use it in a recipe before. This recipe sounds wonderful to try.
Such a wonderful recipe, easy and delicious! Can’t wait to try it out! Great post 🙂
I’ve always wanted to know how to make flan–I really do love it. Adding Folgers (yes, I do drink Folgers) can only make me love it more. Now to get up the guts to attempt to make it!!
I love flan, I bet coffee flavored flan tastes amazing! I need to get this for my iced coffee.
I’ve never thought of adding coffee flavors to my desserts. Now that you’ve showed me this I think I might have to do this as well. I have a few of the Folgers Flavors and I just LOVE them.
Looks so yummy! I am sure it was made even better with Folgers coffee. This is a must try dessert recipe. My kids would love it!
Wow! Your son is just awesome! I love the fact that you are preparing snacks together. Such as wonderful time.
I didn’t know that Folger’s made these products! Looks like a super yummy dessert – I love flan.
I’m not a coffee fan but that flan looks delicious!
This looks and sounds so good. I’ve never made flan before, I don’t think I’ve ever had it! It looks so good though and my husband loves Folgers so he would LOVE this!!
Look at your young talented chef! I am sure he enjoyed the cake million times more because he actually cooked it! Yumm!
That looks really tasty. I would love to try this dessert recipe.
Sounds like a wonderful recipe with the great combination of caramel & coffee. I have never tried flan before, but it looks like an easy recipe to do & I love how you have involved kids to make it interesting as well.
I am not much of a flavored coffee drinker but this sounds pretty good to me!
Oooooo now this sounds like some yumminess!!!! Must give this a try!
I never would have thought that a product like this could be used to make flan. I’ve never had it before, but my roommates used to make it from time to time when we were in college.
I bet the coffee flavor would be delicious in fudge!
I can’t wait to try this with my niece… its right up her alley of fun things to do!!
Folgers has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I remember waking up to the wonderful aroma of coffee brewing. It’s the only coffee my dad would drink and I make it too. My daughter also is a Folgers drinker too. I have never had flan before and it looks so delicious. It will be fun trying the recipe and seeing if I like it or not.
I love flan,but never had the coffee flavored kind.This would be something I have to try.I usually buy it at the store and restaurants,but I will be trying to make this and see how it turns out.
