Coconut Flan
To create this luscious Coconut Flan, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients. The combination of coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk gives it a rich, creamy texture, while the caramel adds the perfect touch of sweetness.
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
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the coconut mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- 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.
- 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!
