Preparation
Make the caramel : in a pot on medium heat, put the sugar and some water, and leave until caramel forms. Immediately take it out of the heat and pour it into a cake mould.
Beat the eggs and add the coconut milk. Stir, and add the condensed milk, and mix well.
Add the grated coconut and stir. Pour this batter into the cake mould where you have poured the caramel before.
Put the mould into a deep dish and fill it with boiling water to make a water bath.
Bake 45 minutes at 360°F. A knife blade should come out clean, or your flan is not baked yet.
Cool it down properly before unmoulding it. There you are, your coconut flan is ready !
Observations
What makes coconut flan different from traditional flan?
Coconut flan incorporates coconut milk and grated coconut, giving it a unique tropical flavor and creamy texture that sets it apart from traditional flan.
Can I use fresh coconut instead of grated coconut in the recipe?
Yes, you can use fresh coconut, but make sure to finely grate it to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients for a smooth texture.
How can I tell if my coconut flan is properly baked?
You can check if the flan is properly baked by inserting a knife blade into the center; if it comes out clean, the flan is done.
Is it possible to make coconut flan ahead of time?
Absolutely! Coconut flan can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld and making it a convenient dessert option.
What can I serve with coconut flan for a complete dessert experience?
Coconut flan pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an added touch of indulgence.
