Ingredients
- 1 can of coconut milk about 13.5 oz
- 1 can of condensed milk about 14 oz
- 1 can of evaporated milk about 12 oz
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of sugar for caramel
- 1/2 cup of grated coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Prepare the Caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and cook until it melts and turns a golden color. Pour this caramel into your flan mold and tilt it around to coat the bottom before it hardens.
- Make the Flan Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and grated coconut until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Pour into Mold: Gently pour the flan mixture over your prepared caramel in the mold.
- Maria Bath Setup: Cover the mold with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking tray. Add hot water to the tray until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Unmold: Allow the flan to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To unmold, run a knife around the edges and turn it upside down onto a plate.
