How to Make Flan Jelly
Ingredients for Making Flan Jelly (Serves 4)
- Unsweetened Fresh Milk: 220ml;
- Chicken Eggs: 4 eggs;
- Condensed Milk: 2 tablespoons;
- Instant Coffee Packets: 4 packets;
- Flan Mold (alternatively, you can use an emptied and cleaned beer can, cut across the body);
- White Sugar: 100g;
Steps to Make Flan Jelly
Step 1: Pour fresh milk into a large bowl, mix it with 2 tablespoons of Mr. Long's milk.
Crack the chicken eggs into another bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Use a small sieve to filter the eggs, letting them flow down into the milk bowl below to obtain a smooth egg mixture.

Mix milk and cracked eggs in 2 separate bowls
Step 2: Gently stir the mixture until it is uniform and smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared molds, then steam in a steamer for 30 to 40 minutes.

Pour the mixture into the cake molds
Step 3: Take out the cakes, place them in a basin of cold water for quick cooling, then continue to chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. In a small pot, mix two tablespoons of agar with 400ml of clean water and sugar. Stir well. Put the agar mixture on the stove and simmer over low heat. After the agar boils for about 2 minutes, add the coffee and dissolve.

Step 4: Gently separate the flan layer with a knife, then invert a larger cup onto the cake mold, ensuring the flan layer is in the center. Pour the agar mixture on top. Now, let the flan agar cake set, and it's ready to be enjoyed. For even better taste, refrigerate the flan agar cake for 2-3 hours in the fridge.
Important Notes for Making Flan Jelly
- To check if the flan is cooked, use a clean toothpick inserted into the center of the cake. If the cake doesn't stick to the toothpick, it's done.
- You can repurpose clean beer can halves, cut in two, to create molds for this jelly flan.

Use beer cans to execute the process of making flan jelly
- To center the flan layer for an aesthetic appearance, use your index finger to hold the top of the mold, then invert it. Hold the beer can steady with your thumb and middle finger, then forcefully slam it onto the other hand; the flan will automatically drop to the center of the beer can. - In this flan jelly-making method, when pouring the agar mixture into the mold, start by filling half of the mold, let the agar set, then pour the remaining half. This ensures the flan layer stays fixed in the center, giving it a more appealing look.
