14 oz (395 g) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 tablespoons (20 g) brown sugar
6 whole eggs
2/3 cup + 3 tablespoons (205 ml) cold water

0.3 oz (10 g) roasted coconut chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 390 F/200 C.
  • in a saucepan, pour water, add sugar and bring to boil. Once the caramel turns into a golden color, pour it into the bottom of a 9-inch/23 cm pie pan and let it cool down.
  • To make the custard, in a separate bowl, add whole eggs and brown sugar and whisk with a hand whisk. Add evaporated milk and combine. Add sweetened condensed milk and cold water, whisk again. Finally, add coconut and mix.
  • Pour the preparation into the pie tin, over the caramel. Place the tin inside a large frying pan, bring on the oven rack, and carefully add hot water. The water level should reach about halfway up the flan tin. Bake the flan for 30 to 35 minutes minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and set it aside to cool at room temperature in the water bath. Then remove the flan pan.
  • Once the flan is cool, slide a knife blade between the custard and the mold. Then place a serving plate on top of the mold and flip the flan quickly using a sharp move. The flan will be covered with caramel on top, while the coconut forms a biscuit-like base.

COCONUT FLAN (COCONUT CUSTARD)



COCONUT FLAN (COCONUT CUSTARD) image

This recipe is perfect and is from Puerto Rico is my personal recipe and I am so happy to share with you, please try this original recipe but you can vary according to your taste, for example: You can use coconut extract instead of vanilla extract if you want a more intense flavor of coconut. You can also change the condensed milk for coconut cream. Remember that when I say in ingredients: coconut milk you need not confuse coconut cream with coconut milk. Coconut cream is pre-sweetened coconut milk, coconut milk is just coconut milk does not carry direct sugar. The names can get with these Coconut Milk at the supermarket.
