Time 1h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
8 large eggs
12 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1 (10 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez®)
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon coconut-flavored rum (such as Bacardi® Coconut™)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir sugar with a wooden spoon until melted and golden, about 10 minutes. Caramel is very hot. Very carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round, 3-inch deep baking dish. Swirl dish to cover bottom and sides. The caramel will harden as it cools.
  • Combine the eggs, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Cover, and blend on High until well combined; transfer to a large bowl. Pour the cream of coconut, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut-flavored rum, and vanilla extract into the blender; cover and blend on High until well combined. Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
  • Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
  • To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and flip the flan out onto a serving platter. Spoon any caramel remaining in the baking dish over the flan.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c sugar
8 large eggs
12 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
10 oz sweetened condensed milk
15 oz coco lopez (cream of coconut)
15 oz coconut milk
12 oz evaporated milk
1 Tbsp coconut-flavored rum (malibu or bacardi® coconut™)
2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350
  • 2. Add the sugar to the metal pan and melt over the stove at low-medium heat moving it with a wooden spoon until golden color. Turn the heat off a little before the desired color as it will continue to darken and it will burn if you are not careful. Very carefully and using oven mitts, swirl pan around while sugar is still soft to cover bottom and sides. It will get thicker as it cools and eventually harden as a lollipop. Set pan aside to cool.
  • 3. Combine the eggs, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Cover, and blend on High until well combined; transfer to a large bowl. Pour the cream of coconut, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut-flavored rum, and vanilla extract into the blender; cover and blend on High until well combined. Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
  • 4. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • 5. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
  • 6. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert flan onto a serving plate. Spoon any remaining caramel over the flan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk will give your flan a richer, more authentic flavor. You can find fresh coconut milk in most Asian grocery stores.
  • Don't overcook the flan. The flan is done cooking when it is set but still slightly wobbly in the center. If you overcook it, it will be dry and rubbery.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from breaking when you cut it.
  • Serve the flan with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include fruit, whipped cream, and caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Coconut cheese flan is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut flavor and smooth, velvety texture, this flan is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give coconut cheese flan a try. You won't be disappointed!
