Bake in preheat 325 oven for 50 minutes or until knife inserted in centers comes out clean. Remove cups from water to wire rack. Cool slightly.

Refrigerate overnight. To serve, run a small spatula around edge of each cup. Invert onto serving plates, shaking to release. Scrape any remaining caramel from cup onto flan. Garnish with mint or grapes, if desired.
