Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups sugar
Pinch of salt
3 large whole eggs
5 large egg yolks
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons dark rum

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Have ready a 9-inch round glass pie dish. Place a clean kitchen towel in the bottom of shallow baking pan large enough to hold pie dish. Fill baking pan with enough boiling water to come halfway up sides of dish; carefully transfer baking pan to oven.
  • Place 3/4 cup sugar in a heavy-bottomed, medium skillet. Place over medium-high heat; cook until sugar begins to melt, swirling pan. Continue cooking until melted and medium-dark brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; pour caramelized sugar into pie dish. Swirl dish until sugar evenly coats bottom; let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 3/4 cup sugar, salt, eggs, and egg yolks until combined. Whisk in remaining ingredients until combined. Pour into pie dish; transfer to hot-water bath in oven. Bake until flan is almost set (it will appear loose in center but continue cooking as it cools), 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer baking pan to a wire rack until water cools; then transfer pie dish to wire rack to cool.
  • When ready to serve, run a knife between flan and pie dish. Place a serving dish on top of flan; invert. Slice, and garnish with any remaining syrup.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons water
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
5 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the Caramelo: In a small heavy saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring, until golden caramel. Immediately pour the some of the caramel into each tuna can, tilting them to coat the bottom and sides. Let caramel cool.
  • (Drizzle any remaining caramel onto a sheet of parchment or waxed paper in decorative squiggles. Let the squiggles harden and use them as a garnish for the flan.)
  • Make the flan: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Divide the mixture among the tuna cans.
  • Place the tuna cans in a shallow baking dish and place on the middle rack in the oven. Pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the cans. Bake the flan until just set, but still wiggly in the center, about 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer the flan to a rack and let cool. Chill the flan in the refrigerator. (The flan can be prepared up to 3 days in advance.)
  • When ready to serve, dip the cans in a saucepan of hot water. Using a finger, gently press down the edges of the flan, until the caramel runs up the side, which indicates that it's loosened. Invert each flan onto a plate. Break the caramel squiggles into pieces and insert them into the top of each flan.

COCONUT FLANS WITH COFFEE CARAMEL

Categories     Coffee     Milk/Cream     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     Coconut     Summer     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 teaspoons instant-espresso powder
3 tablespoons water
2/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 (13- to 14-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk, stirred well
1 1/4 cups whole milk
3 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt
Special equipment: 6 (6-oz) ramekins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Stir together espresso powder and water until powder is dissolved.
  • Cook 1/2 cup sugar with a pinch of salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel.
  • Remove caramel from heat and whisk in espresso (mixture will steam and bubble vigorously). Once bubbles begin to subside, immediately divide mixture among ramekins, tilting to coat bottoms, and let stand until hardened, about 10 minutes.
  • While caramel hardens, bring coconut milk and whole milk just to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring, then remove from heat. Whisk together whole eggs, yolks, salt, and remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a large bowl, then add warm milk mixture in a stream, whisking. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure.
  • Divide custard among ramekins. Arrange ramekins on towel in a small roasting pan lined with a folded kitchen towel (bottom only). Bake custards in a hot water bath, uncovered, in middle of oven until custards are set around edges but still tremble slightly in centers, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Run a thin knife around side of each flan to loosen, then transfer ramekins to a rack and cool completely. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 4 hours.
  • To unmold, invert small plates over ramekins and invert flans onto plates.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk for the best flavor. Canned coconut milk can be substituted, but the flavor will not be as rich.
  • Be sure to chill the flan for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
  • If you don't have a flan dish, you can use a 9-inch pie plate or a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  • To make a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free flour in the crust.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and butter in the crust and omit the eggs from the filling.

Conclusion:

This coconut caramel and rum flan is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy, coconutty filling is perfectly complemented by the rich caramel sauce and the boozy rum flavor. With its stunning appearance and irresistible taste, this flan is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to impress your guests, give this coconut caramel and rum flan a try. You won't be disappointed!
