cafe con leche custard cups

something else I haven't made yet, but think sounds good and will someday. Would be fun to have for a girl party at your house!

1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups 2% milk
1 (14 oz) can fat free sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks
2 Tbsp instant coffee granules
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup thawed reduced fat whipped topping
garnishes: chopped and whole chocolate covered espresso beans, shortbread cookies

combine flour and salt in a 2 qt heavy nonaluminum saucepan. whisk in milk and next 3 ingredients, whisking until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 10-12 minutes or until thickened. remove from heat, stir in vanilla.

2. fill a large bowl with ice; place pan in ice, and whisk custard occasionally until completely cool (about 30 min)
3. spoon 1/2 cup custard into each of 8 (5 oz) cups or glasses. top with 1-2 Tbsp whipped topping, fill completely and scrap top with a knife to level the whipped topping. Garnish, if desired.
