Ingredients
Caramel:
Flan:
Materials
- Microwavable mold (here 14x22 cm)
Preparation
Make the caramel: in a saucepan over medium heat, put the sugar and a little water, and let it cook until the caramel forms. Immediately pour it into the bottom of a microwavable mold.
In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and grated coconut.
Pour this mixture into the mold over the caramel.
Microwave the flan for 8 minutes at maximum power. Check for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's ready; otherwise, extend the cooking time.
Remove the flan from the microwave and let it cool completely before unmolding. And there you have it!
Observations
How can I make my coconut flan more flavorful?
You can enhance the flavor of your coconut flan by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the mixture before microwaving.
Can I use fresh coconut instead of grated coconut?
Yes, you can use fresh coconut, but ensure it is finely grated to maintain the texture and consistency of the flan.
What can I serve with coconut flan?
Coconut flan pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence.
Is it possible to make this flan dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the sweetened condensed milk with a dairy-free alternative, such as coconut cream or almond milk, to make it dairy-free.
How do I know when the flan is fully cooked?
You can check the doneness of the flan by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the flan is ready. If not, microwave it for an additional minute or two.
