Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

For caramel
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
For flan
3 1/2 cups whole milk, divided
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 large eggs
1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
3 tablespoons dark rum
Equipment: 12 (4-ounce) ramekins

Steps:

  • Make caramel:
  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until dark amber.
  • Immediately pour into ramekins and swirl so caramel coats bottom of each, then put ramekins in a large roasting pan.
  • Make flan:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Blend 2 cups milk with remaining flan ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, then divide among ramekins.
  • Bake flan in a water bath until just set but still wobbly in center, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • Remove ramekins from water bath and cool slightly on a rack, at least 15 minutes (flan will continue to set as it cools).
  • Just before serving, run a thin knife around each flan, then invert onto plates.
