Delicious Coconut Flan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of sugar (for caramel)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) of coconut milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a golden brown color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly, and set aside to cool.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Pour the coconut mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
  5. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with water to create a water bath. This will help cook the flan evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining caramel over the top and sprinkle with shredded coconut if desired.

Enjoy this delicious Coconut Flan as a perfect ending to your meal, savoring every creamy bite!
